About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Going to places to make sure they are actually there!!!

ABOUT ME

Im 24 and i was born and raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. Although ive lived in newcastle all my life my mam is from Armagh, Northern Ireland so ive spent a LOT of summer holidays there too. My last trip was travelling around north America with a few stops in Canada which was awesome and i can wait to go back.
Previous to this trip i worked for a company where I was the IT tech support guy, 2 years spent under desks and snoozing in the server room. I'm currently studying computing at Napier University in Edinburgh.

PHILOSOPHY

Be in the here and now and have and always have a go at something at least once and in the words of bill and ted "Be excellent to each other!"
