About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have an amazing and interesting time

ABOUT ME

I am on a mission to enjoy life and learn. Give me a mountain, the countryside, lakes, books, good music, food and funny and interesting people and I'll be pretty satisfied!

PHILOSOPHY

If you find yourself part of the majority, its time to stop and reconsider
