About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One more year in WA to see the sights, Still to do far north and far south.

ABOUT ME

I like kites, they make me fly and If I do not have some sort of adventure in my week it feels like something is wrong!

Have been living and working in Perth Australia for a year and a half now and I love it! I moved here when I had nothing better to do and by luck everything has fallen into place!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it and everyday is an opurtunity to choose to get everything you can from it. Treat people well even if they choose not too. Judge but dont share unless asked. Take responsibilty for your actions and know that most other people in the world know a little as you do, have confidence in yourself.

I want to see and do everything, in the back of my mind I fancy a quiet life (house on beach with family etc) but there is soooo much out there and I want to experience as much if it as possible.
