About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To see the world, experience everything possible. Eat lots of lovely food and to meet as many people along the way as possible.

ABOUT ME

I love travelling. Over the last 3 years I have been on many trips, mainly around Europe, visiting friends, seeing new places and going to music festivals.
My girlfriend surprised me with an absolutely epic trip to New York City for my 30th Birthday.
A highlight of Europe was a road trip from Germany, through Austria, Slovenia into Croatia. Driving through the Alps is an experience I will never ever forget! From there, we flew to Malta where we stayed for 3 months. We did a stint in Canada, visiting Toronto and then on to Prince Edward Island.
We both love music and it has taken us to Germany, Poland and Finland so far, as well as frequenting gigs where we live and travelling to London on occasion. We saw AC/DC in Finland!!! Soon we also will be heading to California for a music festival

We currently live in Poole, it genuinely is such a beautiful place, I know that what ever happens in between, we will always come back here.
In my free time, I go out with my mates on our longboards across the beaches here. Only cruising really as I'm not amazing on it, but I just love it.
I play a little bit of guitar and sing badly, but it makes me happy :D
I cook! I experiment with flavours and will just about eat anything. I haven't had any complaints (just compliments) so far ;) I'd be happy to cook for you.
I really enjoy cycling, I used to cycle to work, but managed to work the bike so hard that the back wheel fell off mid ride... Luckily there was quite a few people around who saw it and got a good laugh, unfortunately nobody got it on video, so I'm still not internet famous :D
I collect vinyl, but for now I think I will have to curb my habit while on my travels.
Feel free to write and ask me anything.

PHILOSOPHY
No Regrets
Forigve
But by the grace of God, there go I
It's nice to be nice. Keep things simple, just treat everyone around you exactly how you would like to be treated. Keep smiling and live life to the full.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I arranged for 12 of my friends to travel to Poland to a music festival with me after being there the year before. It was the best time of my entire life! We watched live music while the sun came up.... just, wow!

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be great if I could cook for you. (If I have my guitar) I can teach you some basic chords and we can have a jam together. I speak some very basic Polish, enough to have small conversations with my girlfriends family... I can teach some Polish language to you.
We can discuss literature, music, culture.
