About Me

CURRENT MISSION

procrastination.... in the form of travel

ABOUT ME

Hey hey...
About me? hmm
i'm friendly and normal (though you'll have to take my word on that)
i'm told that my sense of humour is a bit quirky at times
I Like to be spontaneous and try new things (but so do most people?)
I really love to travel, and cant get enough of languages - currently only moderate spanish and beginner french, but would love to meet people who are keen to help me improve!
I have a pretty diverse range of interests, including most sports, especially snowboarding, jogging, tennis and golf.
I mostly like mellow music, particularly folk/blues roots, but will listen to almost anything
I was hosted a few times whilst overseas (and loved it) so I feel its my duty to repay the kindness that was shown to me:)
If you stay with me, i'll do my best to find interesting things to do, if i have some time off, but best to check before hand...

PHILOSOPHY

Um, not really sure i'm qualified to espouse philosophies, but if i had to choose inspiring philosphers i would go with bertrand russell or daniel dennett...
