CURRENT MISSION

To indulge in moderate pleasures and cultivate friendships

ABOUT ME

30 year old from England, bitten by the travelling bug when I visited Kenya and stayed with a local family back when I was 18. I have returned 3 times since. I also visited SE Asia for six months and the middle east last summer.

I love meeting new people from new cultures to share experiences and shoot the breeze over a drink or a meal.

Hope to meet as many friendly people as possible in the future.

People always seem to say "hope to meet like minded people" well I hope to meet all people, if they are not like minded, I hope to learn and understand different points of view, life would be pretty dull if we all thought and acted the same, vive la difference

PHILOSOPHY

Eat, sleep, drink, chat, sleep and along the way make as many friends and learn as many things from each of them as I can. Focus on the good in everyone and view the negative as having no final reality and ultimately illusion.
