About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live life, appreciate the finer points of life and follow my curiosity.

ABOUT ME

i am a bit of an unashamed science geek, love finding out about things that interest me, which is most things. love hanging out at the beach, pool, clubs and bars. and enjoy walking up mountains or around parks. i love books, films, music, anything cultural but generally not mass-market. I've lived in a few different countries: britain, germany, indonesia, so i'm pretty easygoing and unshakable. looking to meet fellow travelers and thinkers and just pay back the many people who have put me up over the years.

PHILOSOPHY

the golden rule "do to others as you would have them do to you"
don't judge, have a good time, keep those you love close and enjoy what you have.
