About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish the 2yr 3month overland trip I am on at the moment, and then work out where the next one will be

ABOUT ME

25yr old, British male, has extensively travelled throughout the Americas, Australasia, Asia, and Europe. Currently finishing the last 3 months of a 2yr 3month (mainly) overland trip with a journey through Central Asia and Europe culminating in my arrival back home for Christmas 2007.

I love football and the mighty Liverpool FC, I love photography, reading/writing , travel (obviously!), a good steak and cheese pie from NZ always goes down well!, music of most kinds, and the chance to meet people from all backgrounds and cultures! I also like to gamble, not addictively (well maybe mildly)!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Have an open mind in everything you do

Interests

Football, sport, travel, music, photography, reading/writing, good food, bad food (in good places), the art of sarcasm, poker, horse racing.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho is my favorite book.
I will read any travel writing (particularly Peter
Moore, Paul theroux)

A Time to Kill is my favorite film
Old School is my favourit comedy film along with any Will Ferrel film

The Arctic Monkeys are my favourite band

Rum and Coke is my drink of choice

I could list lots more to all options!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Things seen? So much! But Machu Picchu, The Great Wall of China, The Colombian Andes, The Mongolian countryside, and Ecuadorian riots would top the lot.

Oh and Liverpool coming back from a 3-0 deficit at half time to win the Champions League 2005!! Sorry, couldn't write just one!

Things done? Played poker on the Great Wall at 6am. Kayaked across Lago Atitlan in Guatemala on Christmas Day to give presents to children

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn more languages, and especially top up the Spanish.

More than happy to help with English teaching for anyone
