About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be old with hundreds of cool stories

ABOUT ME

I have just returned to London, having been living abroad for the last three years. In my life, I have done many things and been to many places. But I love to hear about what other people are all about. I learn more from meeting new people than I do from anything else. I also just want to have fun...laugh, dance, read, party, travel, explore, have adventures.
I'm a friendly positive person who believes that everyone is equal....and we should all just get on and have a good time with what we've got, and help everyone else to do the same.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about experience. Each one teaches you something new. Take yourself out of your comfort zone and you'll be surprised that the world is much smaller and people are much closer than you think.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. I listen all the time. I love to dance to mad beats to the early hours as much as I like to lie in the sun and chill.
My other passion is books....for me the ultimate form of escapism.
