About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To stop talking about traveling and go do it.

ABOUT ME

I am originally from just outside London, I am easy going and love to travel. I have lived and worked in a few different places and want to travel many more. I enjoy trying new things in life and treating people well. I love to meet new people and listen to there life stories and where they have been. I love taking chances and seeing where the road leads and I am so fascinated by the world we live in and the way we all live our life's so differently and what makes one person happy is so different to what makes some one else happy. I am a bit of a dreamer as well and believe that everything happens for a reason, some times we can't understand why but some times years later it makes sense. I am not much of a planner either and believe life will lead us where we truly belong.

PHILOSOPHY

The core of a persons spirit comes from new experiences.

I love this quote by The Dali Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity he answered "man because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
