ABOUT ME

Ahh so, I'm reserved around new company & can be a bit anxious & shy at times, social anxiety kinda turned me into a super introvert so being social and outgoing is a work in progress, but i'm friendly when i actually feel at ease & relax haha (a beer usually is a good method, if no beer is at hand conversation will likely be stilted so my apologies in advance...) and will always lend a hand if needed, i enjoy a lot of black humor, i grew up for the majority of my life in a small tourist town in the Upper Yarra Valley, its full of weird and wonderful people who escaped the city to live peacefully in a quiet part of Australia surrounded by valleys and bushland, so i guess i can call myself a country boy who loves the simple pleasures that nature gives us for free....you could call me a hippy haha but i wouldn't necessarily fit the stereotypical mold. for 7 years i have worked at a small cafe in my hometown and a few other kitchens closer to the city and gained experience in hospitality, i also went to tafe and studied for my cert 4 in patisserie.

PHILOSOPHY

"The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal."
-Aleister Crowley

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

A bit lame to say maybe,
But for me going overseas was a big thing, id stepped out of my small town and placed myself in London, it was a shock to my system the amount of people i saw every day was incredible, a constant stream of people going from point A to point B, the experience of viewing thousands of humans walk past me as i sat all with their own lives thoughts destinations ect was pretty cool to witness.
at least that's what i thought.
