CURRENT MISSION

life isn't meant to be easy, it's meant to be lived

ABOUT ME

I am a 48 year old male that lives in Brisbane, Queensland. I have traveled the world extensively and wish to continue traveling my entire life when time and finances allow. Although my profile lists a number of countries I would like to visit I would really like to visit every country on earth. Add to that, for every 1 thing you do in that country there are a1,000,000 things you are not doing, so you could never get bored or run out of things to do even in countries already visited

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't meant to be easy, it's meant to be lived

Work in information technology and have a strong interest in all things that relate to the technical age. also have a passion for traveling. I enjoy being near the water. I like to keep fit, whether it be running, swimming, climbing (steps), cycling, rowing, or anything that involves cardio vascular and getting them endorphins active.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is endless, but on high rotation at the moment are ARACADE FIRE, JONSI, and SIGUR ROS, WAR ON DRUGS
