CURRENT MISSION
Siblings on an Australia adventure
ABOUT ME
A little bit about us, eh ... One thing about me is that I find it extremely hard to write about myself! Scott is better at tooting his own horn. So I think I'll just keep it brief - We are outgoing, friendly siblings who love people, animals and adventures. We can relax, play Scrabble while listening to Andrea Bocelli, or put on our dancing shoes and jam to Skrillex.
Scott is 23 and I am 27, though most people think it's the other way around since I have a babyface and Scott looks like a schoolteacher.
PHILOSOPHY
I don't have a personal philosophy. Or if I do, I can't pull it up out of the blue when prompted to describe it. Though I should probably try, if only to prove to myself that I can have one if I want to.
Live life. Live for now. You don't know what might happen tomorrow; in a month; in a year.
Don't hold grudges. It takes a lot of negative energy to stay angry at someone. Use that energy to further yourself - you'll be happier and more successful in the long run.
Say 'I love you.' 'I miss you.' Sincere words are worth more than you think.
I don't know what Scott's personal philosophy is, but if I were to guess it'd be quite similar to mine.

Music, Movies, and Books
I read all the time - one time I was away from home for 6 months and packed 20 books for the tour!
If I had to pick some favourites:
Books:
The Pigman - Paul Zindel
Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen
A Song of Ice and Fire(series) - George RR Martin
Movies:
Boondock Saints
Snatch
Top Gun
Scott's favourite books will be anything by John C. Maxwell, Jim Rohn, or anything business-related. His current favourite is The Wolf of Wallstreet.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Something amazing, eh. Just one thing?
I played ball hockey against retired NHL players on a base in Afghanistan and marvelled at where my life has taken me.
Scott has told me some pretty amazing stories but my favourite was when he was at a campsite near Cairns and had to fight off a kookaburra with a spatula.
Teach, Learn, Share
Can we pack all our knowledge into one webpage? Should you get the milk before you buy the cow? How about we save our debates and theories for when we snuggle onto your couch.
We are educated and well-read, Scott has a head for numbers so he could teach you all about the stock market, important historical dates, etc. I have an eye for interior design so I could tell you if your drapes don't work well with the rest of the room. No but really - lots of knowledge packed into these heads of ours that we would love to share with you.
