About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to make the world a better place one toasted cheese at a time

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and meeting new people. I believe everone has there own crazy story and I plan on discovering yours.

I'm pretty spontaneous and will try (almost) anything once. I am easy to talk to about anything - and wanna learn about anything. I'm good at ice-breaking with small groups. Love learning about new cultures especially Far-Eastern ones.

I've been to a few places around the world but I only just heard about couch surfing from a friend who is THE Painter of HitchHiking - I was going to write King - but really he turns it into an art- beautiful really *tear*

I'm creative and handy, I think..I also think, I think :). I love dreaming up ideas and inventions. Enjoy art, sport and hiking.

Really wanna see interesting places and attractions. And get a genuine feel for the place where I'm in.

I am fascinated with computers and technology and extreme sports.

PHILOSOPHY

I can be the best I want to be so why not be a bit better? Always learning, improving and making myself and things around me better.
Think before you ink. :)
