Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My partner and I are 'Window Shopping' for a new life. we just want to be happy, so we are scouring the world to see what our options are, while having an awesome time!
ABOUT ME
I am small and I'm told I talk too much. I have a few vices and indulge in them often. I am happier chilling with mates than at a club but I never stop at one JD and Coke.
My partner also talks a lot. He is the 'ideas man' of the relationship.
We lived together in Reading for 3 years at Uni, then 4 years after that until we escaped on our World Adventures Phase 1 (that was Asia and NZ), now we are on a year ESL Teaching contract at a Hagwon (private English school) in Ulsan, Korea, until December when we will hit the road again.
Next stop is India/Sri Lanka..can't wait!
PHILOSOPHY
I read a good quote recently - 'happiness is not the absence of problems' - interesting. maybe my aim in life is to find what else happiness can be then..
Not quite a philosophy I know, I'm not good at categorising my thoughts. I guess I also generally feel that the world is literally up for grabs if you want it enough, and that things will work out the way they were always meant to in the end, you've just got to hang in there.
