About Me

ABOUT ME

Well...about me, eh? I have travelled to many place and enjoy meeting people and hopefully future travel buddies. I always keep my backpack (Phil, because I fill him full of junk ;-) )ready to jump out onto the road for the next adventure. I am a student, finish in Dec 2007 and will be promptly hitting the road after that. I love languages and they are very easy for me to pick up, so generally, if I visit another culture/country, I pick it up and try to be proficient...if not, I study it when I get home in the hopes of returning. Currently, I am studying French.

PHILOSOPHY

No time like the present.
