About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in the present and not to dwell in the past or future

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back guy with a dry sense of humour. I enjoy traveling and all of the new people and experiences it adds to my life. I try not to be materialistic and to be happy with few possessions. I find this lifestyle affords me the freedom to pursue my real dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

Being a positive person attracts positive things into your life.
