About Me

CURRENT MISSION

4 months travelling around the South America

ABOUT ME

I don't like conflict and can be very generous to those deserving
I like to laugh and make others laugh,

I was brought up in a very unconventional, liberal household where trust and respect were always paramount,
This upbringing has made me very open and accepting of different cultures and beliefs.

I'm very adventurous and often bite off more then I can chew, which usually lands me in some crazy situations.
I like to push myself outside my comfort zones

I love travel, and the opportunities it gives you to learn new and interesting things about life, humanity, politics, culture and mostly FOOD!!

PHILOSOPHY

Each to their own
Dont take life so seriously
Smile laugh and live
Respect

I like history.

I love travel.

Different culture fascinates me.

I love food, my favourite cuisines are Thai, Japanese and Indian. If you can change my mind about your own cuisine I challenge you.
I (almost) always try new foods at least once, no matter what animal/plant/whatever else it may be.
