About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as i can, while i can.

ABOUT ME

What can i say?

I'm a physically active man with a massive lazy streak. I love being outside and playing in the mud as much as i love a sunday in bed. Overall i'm a very relaxed person, with an easy going nature.

I enjoy meeting people from around the world and making new friends. I could also lose entire days listening to music or out walking.

Psychedelic and 420 friendly.

Music, Movies, and Books

Soul, Reggae, Rock, everything inbetween and more. I would be in a bad place without Spotify.

Favourites? Pink Floyd, Amy Winehouse, The Doors, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Holiday, Laura Marling and so on.

Music brings back memories and sways emotions at the change of a track.

Movies are ok mostly, and i enjoy books when i force myself to read them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping outdoors in the Canadian prairie, counting how many shooting stars we could see as we watched the northern lights dance across the night sky. That was cool.

EVEN COOLER THOUGH! - When the dry prairie set on fire and for miles around roaring flames licked the moon and red rings of scorched grass were all over the black landscape. That really was cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I'm fluent in Doric, the language of the North East of Scotland*. So if yer wittin ti ken how ti spik like a lad fae Aiberdeen yi cin jist ask awa.

Being in the military i can teach you some boy stuff, if that floats your boat. I play in the mud for a living.

I love my hometown and can easily tell you some nice places to visit and things to see.

*Dont worry - i'll tone it down for you.
