I live to meet others and love meeting people and having a laugh. I don't take myself too seriously so am usually making a fool of myself in some way! I get huge satisfaction out of forming friendly relationships with people and I love helping make positive impacts on others lives. Even simple things, like helping with directions or holding a door open for someone, make me happy.

Rock climbing is a serious passion of mine, and I'm at the local wall most days. If you ever want to climb with someone, I will be around!

I've never really put much thought into it, but music is a very important escape for me. It's amazing how great it can make you feel, some tunes can literally bring tears to my eyes. When I can't sleep at night, my headphones transfer me to another dimension and I wake up wondering what that music in my ears is.

I love web design and technology, it fascinates me. I also have a huge interest in different cultures, esp. their food. Love all asian cusine: Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc. and the different fusions of each.

I live for the people around me. How they impact my life and how I impact theirs. (Hopefully in positive ways!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rock climbing in the Blue Mountains, NSW for the first time. Being 30 metres above the ledge I was being belayed from and 250 metres above the ground was incredible! I could look out to the horizon forever and was completely exposed to the elements. Amazing!
