CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of life and meet as many people as I can...meeting people from all different walks of life gives me a real feel for the world and how I fit in it!

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors, I like to challenge convention and do my own thing....willing to take risks if the experience merits it.
I like to think outside the box.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not be afraid to let go of your petty reality in order to grasp at a great shadow
(Antoine de Saint-Exupery...The Little Prince)
and always have a Plan B....
(me)
