About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit at least 100 countries.....

ABOUT ME

Hey Guys,
I've fallen in love a couple times, once with a girl, and everytime i go traveling, its something i think runs through someones blood like the passion of a local sports team!?!?! I'm a Geordie, which is someone from Newcastle UK, we love our football, although were not the greatest, i consider myself more of a Rugby fan than a die hard football nut.
I love my job, its a big part of my life, to be surrounded by people who are passionate and creative gives a balance to the everyday hectic pace of life, i'm self-employed or otherwise "inbetween jobs" it gives me great oppurtunity to travel, meet people, discuss lifes big questions, or either weather that shade of colour is red or violent pink?!?!?!?!

PHILOSOPHY

The other side of the world is less than 24 hours away, if you want to change your life, in less than 24 hours you could be on a beach in thailand working as a barman drinking cocktails and dancing until the early hours........And if your on a beach working as a barman drinking cocktails and something happens back home, it takes less than 24 hours to be by someones bedside.

"Statistically i'm only gonna get on with 9 out of 10 people, so treat that 10th person the way id like to be treated until they piss me off....."
