About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Obtaining that good old piece of paper.... but living, loving, and doing my thing!

ABOUT ME

Im a naturalist... and by that I mean I rather be out on the seven seas or in a forest somewhere. I do enjoy the big city lights too and love to have a party but have a slight bug for being on the road and seeing new places. I grew up in Kenya and spent my younger days skating around, listening to silly punk bands, fishing, camping, and enjoying schoolyard antics. I have spent the majority of the last few years figuring out what I think is important in life and globetrotting while I was at it. Have finally pulled the handbreak and am now settled into a degree in Sustainable Aquaculture and Fisheries Management at a University in Winchester (where I have a couch too!) I am always keen to meet new brothers and sisters, preferably from all corners of the world and intend to carry on trotting all over the planet! WHY NOT!!!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy... Learn to love and share! Diversify and look after the people around you :) JAH bless
