About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to eat as much Nasi Goreng as is humanly possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently backpacking with my girlfriend for a year in South East Asia, Australia, NZ and Fiji but plan to go to China and India after this trip or a motorbike tour through Europe for a couple of months. I'm outgoing and easy going, enjoy meeting new people and want to experience different cultures and ways of life. Want to try out couchsurfing to meet new people while backpacking and then host once i'm back home.

PHILOSOPHY

“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not you go out and look for a successful personality an duplicate it.”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I competed in the Lands End 100 which is a 110km cycle event in Cornwall, England in which I came 47th out of 380 and finished with a time of 4hrs 22. It was tough but it was a great experience and I want to compete more once I get back home. Although, it's going to take a while to get back in shape after backpacking for a year!

Teach, Learn, Share
