CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel as much as possible and experience new things in life. I'd like to get to a point in my life where I can travel anywhere I want whenever I want, without being tied down by a job.

ABOUT ME

Your Personality is Very Rare (INFP)

Your personality type is dreamy, romantic, elegant, and expressive.

Only about 5% of all people have your personality, including 6% of all women and 4% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving.

I am a very versatile person. My passions in life are Sailing, Education, Travelling, History, Social and Political Justice/Equality. I am, by trade, a professional sailor/mariner, operational engineer, group travel organiser, part time sailing instructor! Currently I’m a Relationship Banker.

I love music and have a very diverse taste. I will listen to everything except hard, punk rock.

I don't smoke cigarettes, although I am a social drinker.

I'm pretty spontaneous, but can be lazy sometimes (well all the time). I love seafood, fine dining and a good beer or wine with my meals. Yeah, I like cooking with alcohol, I even put it in the food sometimes (joke)!!!!

I like having intellectual conversations, it stimulates me, and motivates me to not be lazy.

PHILOSOPHY

A brief synopsis of my personal philosophy:
Live, Love and Laugh as much as you can, because tomorrow is not guaranteed to us, and life is too short to sweat the petty stuff in life. All conflicts in life, whether on a small personal scale or large global scale, are basically caused by people not being educated about each other's differences. If we dispel our own ignorance through love, respect, education, and traveling, we as the human race can one day be a peaceful species.
What I value most important in my life is my family, friends and relationships with people in my life. Taking personal relationships for granted is the quickest way to lonliness in life. Remember, Live Love and Laugh!!!
