I'm fired up on:

I enjoy adventure and the random experiences that travel affords, I'm quite philosophical by nature and enjoy trying to work out the meaning of life ;)

Tunes I rock out to:

Bit of everything, not particularly keen on hiphop though. Love Pink Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins, Sublime, Jack Johnson, that sort of thing.

Travel style:

I've travelled by myself and with others and like each for different reasons; but I like travelling by myself as it forces you to have more interaction with the locals and fellow travellers!

Quote:

"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." ~Annie Dillard

Sports I do:

Tennis, Golf, Scuba Diving, Skiing, would love to try skydiving and kitesurfing

Favorite books:

Gregory David Roberts - Shantaram, Yann Martel - Life of Pi,

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

Hanging out with the locals, participating in their everyday life.

Why I travel:

Life is short, I want to enjoy it; not be sitting behind a desk in an office everyday.

Before I die I'd like to:

Learn a foreign language, Visit Antarctica, Sky dive, Learn to kite surf, Visit space, Write a book

Let's collaborate:

I love to travel, and I am an aspiring writer who loves to enter others with stories of my experiences.

Hey dude,

I see that the Koh Tao is your favourite place you've been to. I have a buddy who teaches scuba on Koh Tao... wouldn't it be a small world if you had met him? I haven't been yet, but I'm really looking forward to that day.

I moved from Canada to England a month ago and was living in the London area. Yesterday I moved to Swansea, Wales but I'll be moving back to London in December.... maybe we can swap some stories if you're still around.

Cheers

I remember Mudchute on the DLR line. I was taking courses at the University of Greenwich. I definitely appreciated coming back to Greenwich after being in London... much more peaceful and laid back. I especially loved being in the park. When I was there the weather was great, much better than I had expected. Hope you guys have another nice summer!

Which area of London do you live in? I lived in Greenwich last summer and miss it dearly.
