About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working towards moving to somewhere in South America for a year or two

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty chilled person I believe. Love adventure and anything outdoorsie - fishing, hiking, camping, kayaking, etc is definitely on my list of fun activities. My greatest passion of all - travelling!!! Its like a lucky-dip, you never know what you'll discover and whatever it is you discover, whether it be good or bad, is always an experience and life is all about experiences, no!!!

PHILOSOPHY

You get one life so make the most of it while treating other's around you the way you'd like to be treated - with respect! And before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Two of my favourite sayings:
1. Shit happens!!! Wipe it and move on!
2. Live today like there's no tomorrow!

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favourite movie - Shawshank Redemption.

Don't have my heart set on one genre of music - The music I listen to varies accordingly to the mood I'm in. I do like Coldplay, Angus & Julia Stone, Lumineers, Black Keys, Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters & Men, Fun., Muse, Temper Trap, and Alt-J.

Books I've enjoyed reading: The Kite Runner, Thousand Splendid Sun and The Millennium Trilogy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to London was the flippin' best decision I've ever made because that's when my travels took flight and with travels, came amazing experiences.

My favourite country so far - Spain!!! That's right!!! Everything about this country is bloody amazing - food, sangria, wineries, architecture, language, culture, tradition, way of life, nature, beaches etc. Spent a whole month travelling around Spain and fell in love with each and every corner visited. Hopefully it'll be my future home one day - love this country.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn - I would love, love, love to learn more about fishing, photography, how to play a guitar and the Spanish language. I really wanna give 4WD, rock-climbing and sailing a go. So any masters of the above or enthusiasts - please take me under your wing! =)

Teach & Share - anything I'm capable of I will.
