CURRENT MISSION

On my round the world trip currently in New Zealand & loving it!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently on a round the world trip for a year. I left UK in Nov 2010 & so far have visited Dubai, Malaysia, Sumartra, Lombok's Gili Islands, Bali, Java & traveled down the east coast of Oz on a Greyhound bus in 26 days! I arrived in NZ south island at the end of March 2011 & I've got 2 months before I set off on a 6 month tour of South America.
I'm a (semi) reformed party person. Very outgoing, enjoys socialising, meeting new people and being immersed in new cultures.
I enjoy the great outdoors and I'm thoroughly looking forward to experiencing a great deal more of it during my travels this year.

PHILOSOPHY

I like cake, (& beer)...!

Treat others with the respect that you wish to be treated with. See as much of the world as you can, as you'll only get this opportunity once in your lifetime.
