About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world, try as many different types of food, swim in as many seas and experience as many cultures as possible :)

ABOUT ME

I am always looking to enjoy life. I very rarely wake up before 10 unless i have to, and enjoy my fair share of red wine, beer and dinner with friends, mixed in with days of reading books, doing sports (the more extreme the better) and dragging myself to work when i have to (though i love my job) :-)
My real passion in life, as with so many others on here im sure, is travel. The world is so big, and there are so many amazing adventures to be had, and my only fear is that i wont be able to see enough of it.

PHILOSOPHY

No one ever lies on their deathbed thinking "I wish i'd seen less of the world."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving a motorbike to the southern most point of Vietnam was one of the most beautiful things i have ever done. It was, quite simply, breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can surf (ok-ish), am a ski instructor, rescue diver and am an English teacher. I love all things outdoors, especially camping, so would also take a tent in the garden if there are no sofas available! :-)
