About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spread my unusual sense of humour onto unsuspecting foreigners!

ABOUT ME

I'm awesome. Meet me to find out.

PHILOSOPHY

"€œTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn'€™t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."-€“ Mark Twain

UPDATE: Found out that so many other CSers have this very same quote when I thought I was being original. Dang. But if you have it too, we're quote-buddies!!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to the USA for half a year by myself and came back by myself, forever changed.

Saw the Northern Lights.

Got on a personal 2 passenger plane in Perth, Australia and got scared shitless when the pilot (my friend's dad) cut the engine and the plane just dipped down in mid air (he had the cheek to do it 3 times)!

Saw both the Niagara Falls in Canada and the Grand Canyon in Arizona within two weeks of each other.

Rode piggy-back up to Coit Tower on a San Francisco resident with a huge pillow-like alfro (he offered!).

Jumped casually off a cliff in Boracay, Philippines and suffered injuries after which lasted me 3 weeks.

Climbed a volcanic crater in East Java, Indonesia, and Mt Ngauruhoe (Mt Doom in LOTR) in Auckland, New Zealand.

Went on New Zealand's highest sky dive at 18,000 feet.

Went bungee jumping in Queenstown, New Zealand (HUGE achievement!).

Lived in Japan for 6 months and had a ball of a time trying to converse with everyone in broken Japanese.

Teach, Learn, Share

I kinda have no clue what to say here. My goodness, just meet me already.
