Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to feel free,, happy and stimulated, and to pack as much into my life as I can
ABOUT ME
I'm very impetuous, interested in life and meeting as many different people as possible. I live in London but have lived in a number of different places including Japan (4 years), Australia (18 months) and Italy (6 months) Still have a few things I really want to do, first, I'd like to try and establish myself as a writer if possible.. easier said than done, I know but well worth doing.. then I can travel and write anywhere I go. Ultimately need to live by the sea in a nice warm climate.. The U.K. is too cold for me. I still have a lot of travelling to do...
PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy is to live as freely as possible without being bound to anyone else's rules or regulations. You must ultimately be true to yourself in order to be true to others. It's sometimes extremely difficult and I think I'm only now really starting to be & it's actually very liberating.. makes me feel really happy

Teach, Learn, Share
No matter how difficult your life seems to be, it helps to remember that in some way everything is unfolding as it should.. I believe there's a reason for everything and that everything comes together in the end as long as you go with the flow and don't resist what's happening, no matter how difficult it seems to be.
