Description
I'm a happy, diplomatic, liberal minded and free spirited kind of guy. I enjoy the outdoors and the environment, animals and people.
I grew up in a small capital city named Hobart in Tasmania, Australia.
I feel deeply about human rights and protection from cruelty to animals.
My aim is to experience as many different cultures as I can, meet new and wonderful people and travel to as many countries as possible.
I have a strong desire to help and be part of a cause that has purpose and meaning. For example, assisting with the homeless or those less fortunate than myself, helping groups working with abandoned animals or repairing/constructing buildings affected by natural disasters.
I've no set agenda, timetable or travel plans. Just simply go where my hearts takes me.

What else ...
I come from a very large family with plenty of nieces and nephews. Even grand nieces and nephews. I have cared for my nieces and nephews on many occasions and consider myself very good with children.
Whilst living in Tasmania I was involved in a community support project that assisted disenfranchised youths called 'U Turn' which is run by Mission Australia. I have also spent some time as a teachers aid.
I have skills and experience in leading groups of people, planing and organisation.
I love animals and am especially good with dogs.

They made their home feel like my home.
The work (if you can call it that) consisted of walking and bathing the dogs and helping the boys with home work as well as simply 'hanging out' or having fun in the park.
