Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I have been doing a similar job in different cities in the south west of the UK for 6 years, and whilst I love it,I have come to a point in my life where I need to push past my personal boundaries and do something out of what is ordinary for me. So I've booked a one way ticket, scrimped and saved and plucked up the courage to go travelling on my own. I'm sure it will be the start of a beautiful adventure, and one of many more to come. I have a curiosity in everything and if anyone has a strong passion then I love to find out more about it. I'm a very relaxed, easy going person, to the point where friends sing 'mellow yellow' to me. I can also be spontaneous, loud and the life and soul when the mood takes me.
PHILOSOPHY
"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream"
