CURRENT MISSION

living and learning as i go

ABOUT ME

My name is Patrick and I'm a 25 year old English teacher. Currently attempting to travel the world and using my profession as a means. I'm an easy going individual and am interested in meeting new people in new towns. My partner in crime is my girlfriend, Rose, who is usually the girl laughing by my side (most surf requests will be for the two of us). I love listening to music, reading a good book, and getting into interesting conversations over a few beers (or wine or whiskey).

PHILOSOPHY

At a ball, one must dance.
