About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world having lots of adventures along the way

ABOUT ME

I'm a traveller, in mind and body in a way. I'm a bit quiet and shy when you first meet me, but when you get to know me I'll open up and can talk all night into the wee hours.
I'm quite open-minded and get along well with most people even though they might find me a bit weird. In some ways I'm also old-fashioned, but that's just because I'm a dreamer at heart.
Whatever, It's so difficult to write description boxes on the web, everything you write comes off as really pretentious no matter what you do.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, even when it doesn't go your way. There's always a yellow crane behind the cloud and there's always new things to discover every day.

Interests

Oh, my interests are varied, but some of them include:
Hiking in the woods, watching great movies, history, all things creative, alternative medicine and lifestyles, spirituality, music, psy-trance parties, photography, dogs, architecture and of course Travelling!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Racing the sun-set up Scott's Head in Dominica, making it just in time to see the sun set in the Caribbean sea.

Sitting around a camp-fire deep in the Norwegian woods, the only sound a night-owl in the distance.

Standing on top of a Volcano in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... I will fill this space out someday, but until then:
Don't just blindly listen to advice from others, check it out for yourself and make up your own mind based on the same facts.
