About Me

CURRENT MISSION

DISCOVER THE WORLD. SO MUCH TO SEE & SO LITTLE TIME. THE WORLD HAS BECOME A COMPLICATED & ALIENATING PLACE. THIS INITIATIVE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO JOIN PEOPLE AND MAKE THIS PLANET A BETTER PLACE

ABOUT ME

I am of British and of Polish/ Bajan descent. Lived in the UK all my life and have travelled here and there. My GF & I are looking to move to Oz in the next year or so and we both can't wait for that.
I appreciate meaning in things...movies, music, art etc. Love talking to people and understanding their take on the "world".

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a Libra so balance/ imbalance forms a large part of my life. I believe in karma-What goes around definitely comes back around. We live in an irrational world at the best of times and I think that if we take time to focus on the true valuable meaning of things and life-we can make the world a better place.
