Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live, love, experience! What else is there in life?
ABOUT ME
Well, I am me. Seriously, i need to be seen to be believed. Completely eccentric and extremely easy-going. I get on with just about anyone. There are no such things as strangers. They're just friends i haven't met yet.
I would give a list of my hobbies, but we'd be here all day. So many intersts it's not funny!
Basically, just ask... lol!
PHILOSOPHY
Life is all about the experiences you take from it. Good or bad. It is our ability to experience that separates us from other creatures. We are self aware and, believe it or not, have total control over what happens in our lives. We don't fully accept this and we don't live up to our full potential.
Too many people spend so much time making a life that they forget to actually live it. How can we live but through our experiences?
Interests
Just about anything. I love philosophy and discussing it. Great way to get to know people. And psychology, another great way to get to know people. I'm very interested in sciences and religion, though I'm not particularly religious. But as I said, just about anything and everything interests me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have swum with penguins and played with sea lions and stalked sharks (all in the wild) while in Galapagos. I have taken many courses and can now teach english as a foreign language, grade diamond quality and teach skiing, amongst other things. I have seen thousand year old temples and eaten snake, crocodile and crickets whilst in Cambodia. I have a wealth of experience that I want to share with everyone!
