About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience, share and learn!

ABOUT ME

"Calm but fun, considerate and low maintenance" - from the mouth of a best friend who's sitting here as I type this! I'm also interested in pretty much everything, easily amused, cook well if unconventionally and generally have a lot of respect for people and the world we're in.

PHILOSOPHY

Acceptance and love. Retaining excitement and wonder about this world and sharing it with others. Respect and appreciation!
