CURRENT MISSION

Live, see, meet, and enjoy

ABOUT ME

I tend to always be in a good mood, and tend to enjoy life whenever possible. I have a huge interest in culture, history, tradition and just local way of life. I also tend to spend a lot of time outdoors, hiking, climbing rocks and mountains, kayaking various rivers and simply enjoying the scenery.

I've just graduated from university, and am travelling through North America before I have to start working in September.

I also want to learn more about all the various cultures out there, to meet great people and to make friends all over the world.
