About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i am on my journey, my goal is to meet someone new, see something, learn something i didn't know every week, drink in my world and my life

ABOUT ME

i strive to explore, i have always done that, i have been a hippie, a biker, a community worker, an activist. i have been expelled from my home country, i have been back, i have worked in advertising, done 5,000 focus groups, I have always worked in a young culture and i continue to get my energy from that, i live in that world and i bring my life and experience to add it.. I am always open and cherish new ideas and thinking that would enhance who I am, i am looking into Buddhaism, i try to live my life to the fullest every day and i try to bring a sense of compassion into all I do.. i also own a house in a game park in South africa.. I fully believe in experiencing life..i like to believe there is only one me;

PHILOSOPHY

see a mountain and climb it and always treat others in the way i would like others to treat me... I also screen what i do by thinking if i didn't do it now would i regret the next day, i think this happily opens up everything; I always dream and try to bring those dreams to life! Also i believe the world has changed so much that age is an irrelevant concept, we need to find people by their spirit, their soul and their approach to life, by this we will enjoy our lives and breathe our planet.
