About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Live, never stop learning and to try and be the best person I can be.

ABOUT ME
Loyalty, dependability and reliability are my strongest assets

PHILOSOPHY

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it's too late.
This is the prevailing thought in my mind every waking moment and influences every decision I make.

Interests

I'm at my happiest when I'm on the road, especially in far-flung places, the more culturally different the better! The people met, the foods tasted, the places discovered - I can't get enough - I just love it!!
I hope to find the perfect place to live - it's out there somewhere, I can feel it!
I am a firm believer in the phrase 'life is a journey, not a destination' and to think about the future is pointless. I just try to make the right choices day by day - hour by hour, minute by minute and I will automatically be taken where I want to go!

Being in the mountains is my second passion - riding down a deserted backcountry powder field is simply bliss - nothing comes close!

I am a dedicated if somewhat imperfect student of life and feel I'm constantly changing, learning and adapting - nothing is boring - there is joy to be found in (almost) everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

watching Machu Picchu reveal itself as the morning mist lifted

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a passionate observer of what is really happening in the world, not the mainstream media version that we are bombarded with each and every day. Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, are heroes of humanity and unspeakably important. if we hope to stand a chance, we need to listen to these people.
