CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible, and take lots of photos along the way.

ABOUT ME

Sometimes outgoing, sometimes shy, depending on the day. I just need is a little encouragement to get me out of my part-time shell. I love seeing new places, meeting new people, and taking photos of them all.

I would love to one day make a living from this, but in the meantime I'm happy to be an an amateur place-goer, people-meeter, and photo-taker.

I also love to boogie.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice.
