CURRENT MISSION

to keep adventuring, and do my small bit to make the world a warmer friendlier kinder place by generally not being a douche.

ABOUT ME

I currently find myself in a sensible job, so have taken to planning mini adventures rather than lovely long endless travellings :) I like interesting people, camp fires, kayaking, diving, music, creativity.. Also, as people occasionally turn up with tasty food I should mention I am vegan :)

PHILOSOPHY

Always do the most amazing thing you can with your time. however simple or splendid it may be. (I put that in 2006 when I set up this account, but I like it, don't think I'll update/change it :) I haven't used cs much since then but am hoping to change that!

(p.s. as summer has started I am getting a lot of requests, more than I can keep up with, so if I take a few days to reply or miss your request if it's short notice sorry there are just a lot of them coming in! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lake swimming under the northern lights.
being sniffed by a blind (half wild) wolf I was taking care of at a sanctuary.
Meeting a whale shark by surprise on a dive in Thailand
Snorkelling and diving with seals in Cornwall
Kayaking with a massive pod of bottlenose dolphins in Cornwall
Walking across Spain in springtime (camino santiago)

So much is amazing! We usually just don't pay enough attention to realize.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes it's a cruel world but there is solace amongst the sin. peace to you for know, we will share again.
