About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventuring in NZ and enjoying the clean air

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy going, I just require my quota of nice food and humour each day.

I like to try to challenge how I think every day, and consider things from others perspectives. It fuels my many random discussions and friendly arguments.

Love travel, sport, relaxing outdoors,good conversations, plus more

Always trying out new things, either because I think it will work better or more often, just to see what happens.

Did I mention likes food.. all food, so long as it is good :) Tea, coffee, chocolate, cheese, wine, fresh foods, new tastes, my grandma's cooking.. all the above.

PHILOSOPHY

There should always be a way to use humour and wit to liven up the world and make people feel good.

Question things. There is never just one answer and always more to learn.

The amount I perceive is dwarfed by that which I don't understand. By understanding others, I learn about myself.
