CURRENT MISSION

Circuit South America and learn about new cultures

ABOUT ME

They have said: When you have an idea or a project. (Like travelling around South America for a year). You would put 100% into the idea and project and make it happen, even if it takes a year to plan.

You are focused. And when challenges pop up, you are able to adapt the challenge and rethink the solution toward the project.

You are serious and have a dedicated attitude and not easily distracted from the overall project.

You are serious about the projects and tasks you set. Often the tasks are set way beyond your ability. But you have seen to take on board the dangers which are almost certain to happen in new environments.

You put lots of trust into your own instinct and are conscious of the environment which your in.

Overall; you are very independent and not group orientated which bars me from the social norms. Interests from the social norm are films, drinking and clubs.

I do enjoy team pursuits such as scouting and keen to learn new skills to bolster my independence in a survival situation.

You are decent and honest and won't deliberately cheat you out of pocket.

PHILOSOPHY

Live Your Life. It´s passing you bye. It´s never coming back.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not repeating what’s mentioned throughout my profile...

I enjoy new challenges which stretch the imagination and some of the challenges that have done this are learning some skills to survive in the wilderness, learning Thai Chi and Mauy Thai in Thailand.

These alone have made me more vigilant of the environment.

Learning languages is enjoyable and I do plan to learn a second language at some point. However, I have a drawback with my unique accent.

I live in the UK in a Fenland market town called Whittlesey. I come across as having a strong accent.

For those inquire to question it?
I will try and explain the realism of it...

I have lived in Whittlesey UK which is eight miles from the center of Peterborough UK.

Whittlesey dialect of speech is very unique and the sounds and pronunciation of words to the untrained ear can be hard to comprehend.

Whittleseans tend to slur there vowels and often miss out the double consonants such as the double tt in Whittlesey which is often skipped.

I have reasoned that I do silence the word,'T', and use the sound of the word sees into seey.

I think I pronounce my R's in several slurred dialects such as RA, RO into mistaken sounds such as Wa and WO.

So please don't compare my accent to an American one.

It irritates me more than offends me and I am constantly questioned about my accent when I meet new people.

My weakness and habit with mispronunciation with languages could easily compensate my passion with cooking. I have traveled around Australia, Asia and currently South America and picked up some useful tips from watching chefs and vendors prepare food.

If I stay with you, it would be good if we could engage in a recipe and combine our knowledge’s of local dish.

My attribute to travelling is guiding me to setting up my own business. If you are in the process of setting up your own business than I would like to hear your idea and compare business plans.

I am planning to return to the UK and launch my own Bran Business in Personal Training.

I also enjoy travel writing and would like some help or ideals of illustration.

I enjoy outdoor pursuits such as scuba diving, trekking and learning martial arts. I am planning to enroll of a mountaineering course at some point in throughout my current travels and plan to hike the Andes in Chile with a well organized group. If you live in an area of natural beauty, anywhere in South America. Than I have most of the gear to see the wilderness and knowledge to work within a team.

Having a reasonable knowledge of English would make our journey more rewarding.
