About Me

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurer at heart....the only thing stopping me is a lack of free time and money. I have a craving for travel and am motivated by things such as my next crazy adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

- Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything!

- Always regret the things that you have done, never the things you wish you'd done.

- Yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

- "Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is God. Where there is God, there is no need" - Leo Tolstoy.

- Failure is always Temporary...Only Giving Up Makes it Permanent.

Interests

I am an outdoorsy type person. I love trying new things....the crazier the better! I enjoy keeping active whether through playing sports or just heading to the gym or going for a run. I would love to one day do a triathlon (eg Half Ironman)and currently have taken part in other events such as half marathons and Tough Guy competitions. I'm interested in meeting people from other walks of life, and I LOVE travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
