PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is you only live once and that you should be thankful to be alive and make the most of it and have no regrets. I believe you learn from your mistakes so don´t be afraid to make them. I feel that you should treat people how you want to be treated and i heavily believe in Karma, what goes around comes around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing ive done is pack my bags and leave for Europe to begin a life of travel and get to know myself and the world better.

The most amazing thing ive seen would have to been when i recently went to Iceland and saw the amazing landcsapes, culture and history this country has to offer. The Blue lagoon was the best part of it as there is knowhere else on earth like it.

Hitch-hiking through Macedonia, with no map or no accommodation to the national wedding. Was a crazy journey but in the end I made it and it was the most rewarded Ive ever felt in travel, (Never give up)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a very good knowledge of sports, music, movies, geography and Melbourne culture. I would like to pass on my knowledge of the subjects and also teach people how to have great parties to meet people and enjoy life. I can teach you about Wall and floor tiling as it is my qualification but it will bore you to sleep. I would like to learn different cultures from around the world and would also like to learn the spanish launguage.
