About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the world, meet interesting people, and understand the nuances of different cultures
ABOUT ME
I really like to laugh and make others laugh (if I can), so I try to fill my days up with as much laughter as possible, even if my writing style doesn't convey my true hilarity...
I'm just trying to keep an open-mind about everything, that's why I'm travelling: to get new perspectives on life and people.
I'm in that stage in my life where I'm asking myself "what now?"
I've finished University, so now I'm in this great position to do whatever I like, so, at the moment, for me, this means pursuing some of my childhood dreams and trying to enjoy everyday.
PHILOSOPHY
1. Do what makes you happy (as long as it's not at the expense of someone else).
2. Lessen the suffering of others.
Interests
Comedy, Animation, Music, anything creative.
I'm am interested in nearly everything, but I suppose my favourite interests are things to do with the Arts and Pop Culture: TV, Movies, Books, everything.
I'm really interested in people, though, my favourite experiences are just meeting new people and understanding what drives them and makes them who they are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To be honest, I can't think of one particular thing that I've seen or done that has been amazing, as everything is amazing in it's own right.
I suppose the first time I saw Venice sticks out as something I was completely amazed by. I was 12 years old, and I couldn't really fathom how such a city could function, and I just remember seeing all the houses surrounded by water and being so amazed by the location and ingenuity of humankind to be able to live in that crazy environment.
