CURRENT MISSION

to get to Lebanon by the end of 2013...

ABOUT ME

I've had a fairly nomadic life (I'm English but I'm from Switzerland, with an Irish and Arabic twist thrown in for good measure ;)) I really love doing things I can write home about
I think if you don't make the most of everything you're wasting valuable time! I'm ridiculously optimistic (but not in the walking-self-help-book kind of way) and will do anything to help someone out if they need it! I really love learning new things, useful or useless, as long as its interesting or entertaining I'll remember it! I don't hog conversations but I can talk to a brick wall (no awkward silences guaranteed). Good at organising nights/days out...

PHILOSOPHY

A small smile gets you a long way! and you can make any situation (and trust me, I mean ANY) a really good one! And although a positive attitude can't solve all of life's problems, it will annoy enough people along the way to make it worth while ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best friend surviving a shark attack!!
A homeless man in Sheffield who kept his 2 legged dog perched on his shoulder like a parrot on a pirate...

Teach, Learn, Share

Find me a trapeze or a Russian dictionary and I can teach you a few things, other than that I'm not entirely sure... I also make a mean fondue/Hungarian Goulash/Smores...so we can have a really random dinner party menu... Also pretty nifty with a map, DESPITE what lies Finn Plekkenpol likes to spread about my sense of direction (you get lost one time!)
