About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"The secret to reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!' - Friedrich Nietzsche...This is my mission!

ABOUT ME

I have wanted to travel since I can remember, and when I left for the UK I caught the bug. I love the adrenaline rush when the plane takes off, and not knowing what will be waiting at the other end, walking out of and airport in another country and knowing no one, owning nothing but what is on your back and knowing that you have to start life again and you can be whoever you want to be.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it for yourself in the long run it's only you who is to blame.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Anything with a story to it and a bit of passion behind it. If it's made with a computer it's not music its noise. I'm big on the old school, Bowie, The Doors, Guns and Roses, Queen...just to name a few. I ma also become big on Australian music in recent years, but I'm one of those people who likes a song but has no idea who sings it or what its called. JJJ is my station if that helps.

FILMS: Action is usually my thing. A romance if i'm in a gilry mood or a crying mood (but I usually take myself to those ones), Sci-Fi is good alos... (I'm a borderline geek)

BOOKS: Martina Cole is an author I really like. The Harry Potter series had me hooked. The Vampire Chronicals by Ann Rice were amazingly passionate, and im currently reading her Mayfair Witches. I also really enjoyed the The Millennium-trilogy by Stieg Larsson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Like most of you I have packed up and set of across the world in search of something new and unknown. I think that’s a pretty amazing and courageous event for anyone. Oh, and there was that one time I went shark diving, I dont know that it was quite so courageous, big fish tank and all, but it was certainly amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the basics of the Latin Dance style Zouk, both male and female, I'm by no means amazing but I can get you on the dance floor looking good and feeling confident.
I have been learning Italian recently also so I am eager for anyone who has LOTS of patients to talk to me.
