CURRENT MISSION

Current mission? Well that's easy, I want to travel the world, the few places I've been have opened my eyes to the different traditions, cultures, food and people that are out there. I want to see new places, and most importantly: meet new people

ABOUT ME

I'm a twenty-something guy. Computer science graduate, an avid traveler. I hope to get to as many places and see as many new things as I can before getting stuck in the routine of a day-to-day life and job. I've been to a number of countries but all before I found out about CS, would have been great if I'd known about this, could have met a lot of new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba Diving in the Blue Hole in Dahab (Egypt). That is by far the most amazing thing I've done. It's a spectacular dive. You start off by entering the water further along the coast in an area called Bells cave, you dive down through a small slit in a coral wall surrounded by beautiful colors and head out to open water. You then move along towards the blue hole itself, the reef wall on your right and nothing but blue open water on your left. We saw a turtle, a sting ray and some of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen (one of my dive buddies spotted a baby shark, but I didn't see it). You then enter the blue hole itself and dive down to 30 meters where you can see all sorts of colors and life. It truly is an "out of this world" experience!
