CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and live every day as it's my last...

ABOUT ME

My name is Barrie, I was born in London, England. When I was 12 I moved to Oxford, England with my family. For the last 2 years I have been traveling. I enjoy making new friends and taking in different cultures. In England I was working self employed trading on the internet. I love playing football and really enjoy being outside exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that you only get what you work for in life. If your unhappy with your life the only person that can change it is you. Live life to the max as you never know which day will be your last. Treat others in the way you wish to be treated and give everyone the level of respect that they deserve. Never judge a book by it's cover, were all individuals with different backgrounds, morals and beliefs. The world we live in is nowhere near perfect, but if it was then there would be no point in living...
