Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Belgium (self styled beer tour) and France (Midi Canal with my Ma and Pa) in September 2016.
ABOUT ME
Ladies and Gents, I am a walking contradiction...but in a good way!
I am a very open person and of course love meeting new people - why else would i be on here?!
Seeing things that people back home don't understand or have no idea what i am talking about excites me!
The fact that i am lucky enough to travel makes the cultural exchange with locals/fellow travelers that i am privileged enough to meet, even more meaningful to me.
I am a prosthetist so if you need a hand, or a leg, I am your man.
