CURRENT MISSION

Meet and talk with interesting, well-travelled or travel-orientated people.

ABOUT ME

I lifted my profile from my Facebook profile. It's still pretty accurate...

A survivor. A realist, not a pessimist. Smart but guarded, I speak my mind as long as it doesn't hurt people I care about. A permanent friend. Laughing, I like laughing and I don't do it nearly enough, make me laugh. I like to travel. Sunshine, I don't like overcast places. I like training and testing myself, endurance sports, swimming and healthy food. I have a good work ethic and it is rewarded. I like to respect people and not be let down. Enough about me, lets talk about you.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no God. Karma, not in any organised sense, but I think that how you treat others will be reflected in your own experiences. Stay well clear of selfish people, they bring nothing but self interest to the table and the world makes excuses for them.
