CURRENT MISSION

To move to Canada.... live for a year or 2 & then travel as much as possible!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a 29yr old, born & raised in Australia. Living the last 2 years in London, but now my visa has expired, so I've been travelling in Mexico for 2 months, before meeting my boyfriend in Canada, to live, for a year or two!
He is born & raised in London. Passionate about singing, songwriting & playing guitar. We both work to live, and are moving to Canada to stay together & to have a new adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

We both believe in living life to the fullest, treating people how you wish to be treated, and looking after the environment in which we live. Basically being good to our fellow human beings is how we roll.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are keen to learn anything from languages (Spanish or French would be swell!) to Organic agriculture (and of course improving any of the things we have listed in our interests)
What we could offer to teach....... I guess hair (advice, styling, whatever!) music... ummm... that's a tough one! Not sure there's a whole lot that we are expert at... but we are always well up for exchanging ideas, motivations, projects, ways of life...... anything inspiring!
