About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Should I shave my hair again or keep it longer?
Also grow a longer beard without shaving if after 3 weeks
Thats all I can think of right now

ABOUT ME

I talk ALOT !! I mean ALOT ... so be prepared as I never shut up haha :)

I usually work in Media, Marketing, Sales and Advertising, I have a journalism & communications degree and ideally my plan is to start writing my own travel blog/planner one day and then publish mini in your pocket backpackers guide books or something cool like that or be a Sports Commentator

I don't like saying things about myself, because you may or may not agree with it.

PHILOSOPHY

Live Life, Love It & Enjoy The Ride

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have quite a few memorable experiences but most of them happened when I was travelling solo throughout China with the amazing friendly people that I met

Spent half a day at the Israelian border after they saw an Iranian stamp - Questions Questions Questions

Watching giant turtles lay their eggs on a beach in Oman, while seeing so many stars in the sky amongst the wilderness.

Sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum, Jordan.

Going down into the mysterious Bimah Sinkhole in Oman.

Breaking into a caravansari in the middle of the desert in Iran. Spending the night gazing at the stars, paranoid that police might arrive, followed by a meeting with wild camels the next morning.

Travelling with a train in China during the Chinese new year festival. Being one of the huge number of people trying to cram on a train from ian to Beijing. Not being able to move for around 18 hours had no seat either as the train was so packed.
