About Me
*FIRST TIME SOLO TRAVELLER*
One way ticket to Vietnam.
I have been saving for the past 2 years for the trip. I'm an enthusiastic, lively person with a big heart and a lust for life. I'm really excited to explore new parts of the world. I love getting to know new people and learning how different people view the world.
I spent the majority of my 20's touring in bands, writing songs and making records, inbetween retail jobs and bar work to pay those dreaded bill$ .
I am traveling because I want to learn more and get out of my comfort zone.
While I'm away I hope to use work away to learn some new skills. I feel years of working in the western world has left me Unable to do something practical, I can just about change s a light bulb and set up a stereo, it's embarrassing.
Interests
I love to chat music, politics, the beautiful game (football/soccer) love dabbling in multiple universes theories, love a good conspiracy theory.
- beer
- cars
- music

Books- I am a slow reader and struggle to finish books, it's something I want to work on because when I have gotten in to a book it has been so rewarding and given me a lot of joy. Perhaps you could recommend me a life changing book?
