CURRENT MISSION

Discover as much about the world I live in as I possibly can!

ABOUT ME

Enthusiastic jet setter who likes to explore new places. Have a wide-eyed passion for novelty and would eagerly travel to the other side of the world on a whim. Interested in all kinds of a things, and am quite easily amused. Love to laugh about life's little quirks and have amicable chats with strangers (or should I say future friends!)

PHILOSOPHY

The prospect of learning something new is what gets me out of bed every morning.
