CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as I can

ABOUT ME

My background is a mix of Aus and the States. My Mother is Australian and my Father American, so I grew up traveling between the two. I’m going to blame my parents for the traveling bug that has infected me. I love going different places and experiencing new cultures. I’m easy going, open minded and always try to keep moving.

PHILOSOPHY

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time... Jack London

Music, Movies, and Books

I’ll read anything I can get my hands on. One of my favorite parts of traveling has been trading books. It gives you a chance to read about something that you otherwise might never have picked up. Favorite movies are the standard guy list of Tarantino, Ridley Scott films though two in particular are Charlie Wilson’s War and The Lives of Others. As far as music goes I like all types excluding earsplitting metal,my favorite bands being The Verve, Northstar and Third Eye Blind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mt. Olympus, Skydiving, Walked across the top of Sydney's Harbor bridge, Dived the Red sea and Great Barrier Reef, won a poker tournament in Vegas, ate at Peter-Luger's Steakhouse in Brooklyn NY (If you've ever been there you understand why it deserves to be on this list!)
