CURRENT MISSION

Not to understand where I am meant to be or what I am doing, but to sit back and appreciate it.

ABOUT ME

i am a student at Cardiff university where i am foolishly attempting to study history. let me tell you now, it is a futile effort, but a gallant one nonetheless.

don't get me wrong though, i have no intention of becoming a historian. my heart lies in two places; in music and in writing. I am a member of the band cloud atlas where we make noise and jump around being happy and joyfull. i lose myself in that situation. and i write for the student paper. i'm an editor now y'know. how fun.

i have a ridiculously romantic view of the world, almost in a kerouac sense. more than anything it's the people i love. there are characters out there who you would never meet if you just sat around watching tv and eating corn flakes. there are so many beautiful people out there. i want to be the first to meet them all. maybe a little ambitious, but you understand!

i have no regard for capital letters whatsoever. as evident.

my hair is constantly changing colour, but not like a chameleon to belnd in, but to stand out. i would be a bad chameleon.

i dream for too much and get excited easily. give me a guitar and a pen and i'll drift up into the ether where i'll sit for hours drinking rum and singing songs

PHILOSOPHY

no matter who you are, where you are, or how you got there, you're somewhere. and that's better thasn being nowhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i went to central america, in belize for a month, where i basically got lost in the jungle and slept in a tent. i spent the time there treking through jungle, climbing mountains and fighting off rather large snakes, before settling down in the carribean for a few days and drunkenly swimming with sharks (not one of my brightest ideas). quite simply amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

i could try and teach you welsh, but it is an annoying language. seriously!

or even the guitar! i'm not too bad at that.

i would love to learn the violin, or russian, or japanese, or any language or any instrument.

i would love to learn about things that only you know. each person has their own experiences.
