Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Im here to meet new and exciting people on my travels through the UK and Europe. I want to ask the hard to ask questions and laugh at the little things. I am searching for the odd, unusual, slightly mundane, no body thinks its beautiful sights to see.
ABOUT ME
Eugh. Not really into prattling on about myself but here goes.
I love travelling. Not the rosy snapshots my family sees kind of travelling. The I am so freaking cold/ tired/ sad/ fed up travelling where you push yourself to go out and see these tourist traps even though all you want to do is lay on that yucky hostel bed and cry about bullshit. I like those moments where you are so fed up with travelling and you tell yourself "im not a real traveller, im just a stupid tourist having a whine" and just as you decide to go back to where ever you came from you round the corner and see something so absoloutely wonderful and yet so mundane that a lightbulb goes on inside you. And you realise that its not about being a traveller or tourist. Its about being alive to feel what you are feeling in that moment of wonderment.
A sense of being so blissfully lucky that it puts the rest of your life into perspective and you are suddenly filled with a desire to do good in whatever way you can.
Everything else in my life stems from an insatiable curiosity and desire for new things and experiences.
Fin.
PHILOSOPHY
"The universe will provide"
"sisters doing it for themselves"
The two mantras i repeat.
otherwise i believe we should be kind, be silly, be brave- the magic happens outside of the comfort zone. Be so busy having and creating a great life that you leave no time for berating others. Extend kindess to all you meet, they are fighting their own battles. Do good, be good, be yourself and try new things. Love those you can, reach out to those in need and let the rest go their own way.
Interests
If i can read it, think about it, see it, touch it, hear it, smell it, imagine it, play with it or relate to it. It is something I am interested in.
Life is short. 'A butterfly beats its wings for but a day and thinks it an eternity'. Why wouldnt I want to know about everything possible before it's to late to wonder anymore.
