CURRENT MISSION

Live every day as though it is my last

ABOUT ME

I am a life-loving adventurer. I love meeting new people. I love travelling the world and learning about new cultures, learning new languages and trying new cuisines. I like to take photos. I regularly do yoga and live an active and outdoorsy lifestyle. I enjoy drinking with friends, and seeing live music whenever I can. I also enjoy wining and dining with close friends. I am an animal loving pacifist, and haven't eaten meat for 17 years! I'd call myself an environmentalist, and I try and do my bit to save the world, although I wish I could do more. I enjoy travel writing and blogging about my experiences on the road and living abroad. I have been an expat now for almost a decade in the UK, China, Vietnam and Indonesia. I am optimistic about life, despite fears about the future of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest, and be bright like a sunflower. I believe in the Universe and universal life force energy. Put it out there and the Universe will provide. There is no such thing as coincidence, it all part of the great life plan that the Universe has mapped out for us. Be aware of synchronicity- there are signs you are on the right path everywhere, everyday.

Sim's Sunflower Philosophy:
"Stay rooted to the ground, stand tall, and follow the sun!"

"Don't be afraid to go where you've never gone and do what you've never done, because both are necessary to have what you've never had and be who you've never been."

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough,and more. It turns denial into acceptance,chaos to order,confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast,a house into a home,a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,and creates a vision for tomorrow."
