About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see, share and experience a much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am very laid back and easy going. I love to meet people, socialize, chat and share experiences. I think a lot. I am often confused. I daydream a lot. I want to travel. I love the sound of the sea. My favorite color is blue and at the time of writing this my favorite food is Mexican. I love to laugh and smile.

PHILOSOPHY

My parents always say that I am far too laid back. In fact if I was anymore laid back I would be horizontal. But that is how I am. To live life stress free, happy, to learn as much as possible along the way, to do the right thing, to be a gentlemen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mae Hong Song bike loop in Northern Thailand left me breathless, temples, waterfalls, caves, ancient tea plantations and breathtaking views along the way. Incredible sunsets on Koh Lanta. Guzzling down 3kg of fresh crab at the fishing village on Koh Ta Kiev, Cambodia. Visiting Krang Thmey school in Cambodia and spending two days with the children, teaching them art and english. Also spending the morning planting rice in the fields with the women. Swimming across Lake Bled, Slovenia. Going wild at Exit Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia. Riding an Elephant. Cuddling a Tiger.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what I could teach you. But I think once we meet and you get me talking there are bound to be things we can teach each other. I love to share my experiences and often out of nowhere come out with some pretty random (and often useless) information. I have been to Uni and studied Geography. Maybe you want to learn about that? I don't know. I had a pretty interesting job in the sport's industry before I left to travel. If you want I can tell you about that too.
