ummm ..... describe myself ... very easygoing, smiling chap (guy for the non-Brit folks) bundle of energy who can sometimes be too nice. Open-minded, looking forward to life's adventure's but appreciates a quiet evening with good friends. (note: horrible at describing himself)
My goals: Pay off my student loans, help tackle the health system back home, play the game (football of course!) every evening, wander to my countless travel destinations, and maintain great friendships while finding an inner calm. (now that's sounds cheesy, but just keeping it real!)
