About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see lots, meet many, share abundantly

ABOUT ME

I like being outdoors, especially by the sea. I leant very early not to bother about winning or losing, but to enjoy the ride along the way. I like heights. I have a Trinity Cert TESOL and really enjoyed helping my students improve their English. One of the most exciting things I've done is skydiving. I enjoyed it so much the first time that I went up again 20 minuets later. Im interested in people, why they do the things they do and how our brains work. Im quiet organized when I want to be but when I travel I make very few plans. I like learning things, I especially want to get better at Spanish. I think music can be a powerful thing, my favorite sound is a wonderful voice and some beautiful guitar playing but I am completely without any musical skill. I once tried to learn the drums but I got so excited when I was getting it right that I went wrong!

PHILOSOPHY

It's the little things in life that make the biggest difference.
