About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see the world and all the beautiful people in it

ABOUT ME

Hi there, my names Derek and I'm a 31 year old male living in Newcastle. I'm a part-time photographer with a flexible schedule so if you catch me on a good day I would be happy to show guests around my beautiful city. I am also very interested in cultures and the plethora of people the world has to offer, so with all my extra time I intend on meeting as many people and making as many friends as I possibly can.

PHILOSOPHY

frosties are just cornflakes for people who cant face reality

If my body is 90% water, why do I have to drink so much water, why can't I just have some crisps?

Hakuna Matata
