Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hi I'm Marty. My Mission is to meet amazing people in amazing parts of the world. I want to share stories and experiences with all kinds of people. I want to revel in the beauty of human experience with as many of us as possible;)
ABOUT ME
I am a honest, ambitious and kind young man. I love to laugh, I love my Family and remind them of that as much as possible. I am a musician (Drummer) and performer at heart. I exercise these passions daily in my occupation as a costume interpreter at Sovereign hill gold rush museum. Where I perform 1850's street theatre, march/drum as the 40th regiment afoot. (Red coat soldiers)> I also get to indulge other passions in my job. I get to learn every day and part time blacksmithing.
I grew up on a large dairy cow farm in south-west Victoria. My Older siblings and I were taught to work hard and enjoy life from a young age. We also had the pleasure of hosting many exchange students from all over the world. Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Japan to name but a few. My parents were very good teachers in the way of the greater world. They made sure we were always experiencing and understanding other cultures. For this I am very grateful.
I love to love life. I am a very positive and patient man. I find joy and goodness in things every day. Oh, and I love to smile.
PHILOSOPHY
Invite yourself to absorb the goodness and beauty in everyday life. Be trusting of on another.
