About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy Life

ABOUT ME

Hi! my name is Jake, I have been moving around and living in different parts of the world for the past 3 years now. I love meeting new people and making new friends. I enjoy experiencing other peoples culture and seeing their way of life. please show me yours :) I am friendly and get along with everyone.

I am from Melbourne, Australia and have been recently living in Osaka, Japan. From the start of July I will be travelling through Kyushu. I will then fly to Seoul, Korea at the end of July. Please let me know If you have a place for me :)

Interests

I love being outdoors. I have done a few snowboarding trips to Japan and New Zealand and been numerous times to our ski resorts here in Victoria, Australia. I like cars and driving, i also like to ride motorbikes. I enjoy camping, swimming, hiking, and pretty much anything that is outside :)
I enjoy a good night out, i like live music of any kind (DJ/Bands/Solo artists) really any other music, there is not much music that i don't like.
I like to meet new people and hear the stories that they have.
I am keen for new experiences whether it be a job that is out of the ordinary, places that iv never been to, or even food and drink that i haven't tried before.
When travelling to a new country, i would rather hang out with the locals and experience their town/city as they do, than go to a famous statue or landmark and take a photo of it like 10 million other tourists already have.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- I will usually choose a comedy movie over anything, but i do like a lot of action and thriller movies.

Music- I like a very wide variety of music, although i am not the greatest with Band or song names. Chances are I've heard it before, but no idea who sings it or what its called :P

Books- I don't really read books, sorry to people that love reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Went to the Full Moon Party in Ko Pa-ngan, Thailand and jumped the fire skipping rope.
-Skydived in Prague.
-Moved to England for a working holiday expecting to work in a Pub/bar, and ending up working as a contract Firefighter.
-3 weeks of Fire fighter training probably the best experience of my life.
