CURRENT MISSION

Solo Exploration of the Southern hemisphere and to be a ski-bum down under for the New Zealand winter season 05

ABOUT ME

Young, free and unattached to any form of responsibility is how I currently operate. A the time of writing this (April 05) I am just about to jet off round the southern hemisphere and pretty much intend to spend the next few years working to travel and travelling to work. I don't understand the settling down aspect of life that so many people seem to crave. I get bored easily and enjoy the random bits of life that nobody ever plans - all for spotinuity!

A bit of biography:
I grew up in rural Worcestershire, England (a country girl at heart!) in a pseudo-farmhouse with my mum, dad, younger sister and a whole menagery of pets. After finishing A-levels in 2000 I headed off to Canada and spent a year working and travelling out there - undoubtably some of the best times of my life so far! Returned to England in 2001 and went to uni for 3 years - a hard slog workwise and I realised that my love for maths had pretty much died by the end! However I met some awesome friends and had a banterous 3 years of fun. Spent both uni - summers in the states - one at summer camp and doing the west coast, another doing the east coast. Let uni in June 2004 and returned home to replenish the bank balance in preparation for the next adventure.

"What you're going abroad AGAIN Harriet?!". And thats where I'm at now!

PHILOSOPHY

Why Do I live? - well thats a question and a half! I live to be myself and experience as many different feelings as possible. People are what make memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing? There are many because I revel in every new thing I see and do. I'm afraid I have to be a softy and say "fall in love" - I think thats pretty damn amazing when it works!
