About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel is on hold until I get my commercial pilots licence, but Brazil for the world cup in 2014 is the next big trip!

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Sydney in Australia.

Since University I have done alot of travel throughout South East asia and loved it. Indoneisa was the first country I visited when I was 14 when my Dad was working there.

Last year I took a break from work at went to Maine in America to work at a summer camp teaching kids how to Wakeboard. I had an amazing time and worked with some fantastic people and enjoy teaching kids how to Wakeboard on a nice boat!

This year Im going to travel back to America for 6 weeks and go to the west and north America before heading to Europe for 10 weeks to catch up with some friends and do some sightseeing.

When I come home I will be joining the Military to fullfil my lifelong dream as a pilot. From there I dont know where life will take me travel wise but would love to do somethings closer to home - New Zealand and Malaysia.

I pride myself in being polite, friendly, outgoing, funny (I try) and open to new experiences. I will help anyone who needs help and love working with my professions in my job. It can be tough and it can be horrible and I have seen things that many people will never see (For good reason) but I know that the people I work with are like minded and professional.

When Im not traveling or at work I like to excercise (Mountain biking, rock climbing and going to the gym), going to concerts/festivals, working on my Mazda sports car (Love of my life, sad)and spending time with my friends and family.

I believe you have one shot at life and you make the most of it. Since my fathers recent passing it has taught me alot of my mortality. Life to is short - make the most of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life motto "Death is certain, life is not".

As for books im pretty limited to either war books or autobiographies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ok so this is about me so ill keep this short and sweet.

Then something happened and I stopped and never started again.

So there you go!
