CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn, live an honest and interesting life. Currently on a bicycle tour of S Asia volunteering where possible.

ABOUT ME

I'll always try something once - I seek good experiences that make good stories. I want to meet people who see the world completely different than I.
My passion is trying new things and being outside, all the good things fit inside those two things. I want to live while I can.

Recently left my job, house, and am traveling through S Asia on a bicycle with a good buddy. Blog -- thesurlysamaritans.tumblr.com

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to be content with the journey.
