CURRENT MISSION

Would like to explore more of Europe's cultural diversity before going to South America again.

ABOUT ME

Kind, intelligent person with a good sense of humour.
I like to engage in discussions and conversations about serious topics rather than chit chat but I certainly have a large light hearted and playful side as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the full and be brave. The saying " A life lived in fear is a life half lived" doesn't just apply to travel. Cosy nights in can become boring and time has a habit of passing by much more quickly - even then.
