Looking for more reality

ABOUT ME

I've lived most of my life in my home town Melbourne. I enjoy learning and experiencing new things, as well as adventuring on both a small and big scale. I'm interested in things out of the ordinary, that offer new insights into the world around me and worlds beyond my own.

I'm an ambitious person, interested in getting into the area of diplomacy and international relations. I am deeply concerned with human rights and political justice. I follow a Vegan lifestyle but I'm totally tolerant of people who don't, as long as they are open minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Change within yourself what you wish to see changed in the world
