CURRENT MISSION

To not be afraid of the unknown

ABOUT ME

i caught the traveling bug many years ago, have been infected ever since. Just finished 6 months working in Phnom Penh and looking for the next path to follow

all you really need to know about me...actually i don't think i can finish that sentence. well...i am sarcastic and somehow manage to be both lazy and energetic, i love going out and meeting people but i love staying in with a cup of tea/beer and an evening of conversations. so basically i am a walking talking antithesis of myself. You probably just have to meet me and figure it our for yourself because i don't think my description of myself is going to get any less convoluted!

PHILOSOPHY

You need to constantly remind yourself to not judge people on first impressions, and always try to find people that challenge you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

most of them are internal achievements that would seem trivial to everyone else but i guess swimming in the phosphorescence was pretty amazing, as was talking in front of thousands of people at an anti iraq was march when i was 14.

Teach, Learn, Share

do be honest i don't really know what i have to teach apart from a load of useless facts (that i find incredibly interesting) learnt from new scientist. i would like to think that we all teach others without even realizing it and that we spend out entire life educating the world and being educated by it.
i want to learn everything , unfortunately this will never happen so i will settle for anything.
sharing...interests, jokes, life.
