ABOUT ME

I think i'm fairly easygoing, relaxed, tolerant of other people and their beliefs and I don't end up offending too many people!
I have lived in Nelson most of my life, which suits me due to the abundance of national parks, most of the main tracks i've managed to do at some stage. Climbing has really taken my interest recently so i'm trying to pour lots of time into that right now.
So far my overseas travelling experience has been 2 months travelling through Thailand and Nepal, but i've got itchy feet now, and am going to take a short trip from Egypt to Turkey, before spending a year in France and the rest of Europe.
