CURRENT MISSION

Learning Spanish to communicate better with my Spanish family, experiencing new cultures, helping out with stuff I can do that others can't.

ABOUT ME

My friends tell me that I have a habit of disappearing to far away lands and then popping back up at home with a whole host of great stories and interesting new friends.

As for me, well I´d like to think that I´m pretty adventurous and have an open mind to new ideas and experiences. I´m a big fan of talking and getting to know the wierd and wonderful as well as the more mundane. I´m pretty relaxed and err away from confrontation. I'm a morning person but I don't expect others to be. I respect those around me and value the same in others.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe in yourself and the rest will follow....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just tried Paragliding over a valley in Colombia. It blew my hat off! Wonderfully tranquil.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have something to teach then I have an ear to listen.
I wouldn´t say I´m an oracle of information but I enjoy discussing all sorts of topics and contributing new info when and where I can.
I can share my love of London!
