About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel through as many countries as possible. To create happiness in people's lives, and help people as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm 27 and am from England. I've been travelling on and off for the last 8 years. I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. I like most sports, watching and playing and have recently got into scuba diving. I'm currently with my girlfriend in America and we've travelling for the last 6 months through South America. I'm loads of fun and love to party, especially to House music. Although I love listening to live music, indie, jazz, salsa, acoustic, and hip hop.

PHILOSOPHY

The worlds a large book and if you dont travel, you'll only ever read one page....

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind....
