CURRENT MISSION

If you want to survive out here, you've got to know where your towel is.

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm an easy going, patient, social and confident traveller who likes to meet friendly, fun, laid back people to share new experiences, make new friendships and enjoy the strange twists and turns that come from picking up a backpack.

I'm travelling around South America for 6 months January 2010 to July 2010 before starting a postgraduate degree in Oxford.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take yourself too seriously and accept life is a game we play.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked around the Auschwitz Concentration Camps in the most incredible snow storm I have ever experienced. Strangely juxtaposed the beauty of nature with the horror man has the potential to commit.

Trekked to the top of Mt. Vesuvius, ran around Milan frantically with one hour to spare before a flight to visit the San Siro, toured the Nou Camp in Barcelona, baked and frozen in the Sierra Nevada, stood on stage for countless bands at music festivals, cycled around Croatian coast, watched Carmen in Verona, walked 20 miles around London in a day, got lost in the Rome Colesseum, stayed up for days at the Bennaccasim festival in Valencia.

Teach, Learn, Share

For a start, I've been teaching myself how to cook.I'm very good at working with and helping children thanks to what I've learnt from my work in schools with teenagers. I'm hoping I will become a decent youth football coach as well :)
