About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Back from travelling. Firmly in the rat race. Wishing to return the CS generosity.

ABOUT ME

...basically.... after a no-break 21 year education straight into the big wide world of work for 2 years, the traveling I have become accustomed to over the past 4 months has brought out the hippy within me that i knew was always hidden away..Well not quite but I'm just out to have a good time, have fun, meet new people, see new things and keep up my thirst for worldwide knowledge on life.

Unfortunately I am back now...sad face...

PHILOSOPHY

"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"
