About Me

"There are some things in my life i will never understand... but they become the force that makes me who i am... You've never looked into my eyes... but don't you want to know... what the dark and the wild and the different know?"
-Etheridge-
My name is Jock, i like to rock! I live in my own little world, it's ok though...they know me here! There's alot more to me than meets the eye. I like things that are different.
I love travel, photography and meeting people along the way. Travel is my passion, it's what i live for. I'm often at my happiest when im cold, alone and a million miles from home! In 2004 - 2006 I spent 2 years living and working in the UK, i got back home to Australia mid 2006, and early in 2007 i spent 6 amazing weeks on holiday in South Africa. Now i'm working a regular 9 till 5 trying hard to save $$$. I hope to be off on a new adventure sometime in the next 12 months, any suggestions on where i should go? Let me know!
I've also been working on a new website for my photography... http://www.betterphoto.com?jox Take a look and let me know what you think!
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
-Robert Frost-


"There is, sometimes, a ticklish feeling of anonymity in which the foreign traveller may wallow; a kind of sly rootlessness which allows you to be anyone from anywhere or nobody from nowhere. Even in the most anguished moments, when you wonder why you bothered to leave home at all, something emerges from the travel experience that you couldn't discover in any other way but by letting go, by crossing the line and exposing yourself to the unknown... The horizon beyond the passage is undefined; our eyes can only perceive its outline. Travelling thus becomes a test of courage, a surge of enthusiasm, a guest for freedom. A journey is not measured in terms of distance...but in terms of experience. How far will you go?"


Your Travel Personality Is: The Adventurer
For you, travel is how you learn about the world. And you like to learn the stuff that's not in guidebooks.
You truly have wanderlust. When you're not traveling, you're dreaming about where you'll go next.
And your travels are truly legendary - they leave you with stories you'll be telling for the rest of your life! What's Your Travel Personality?

"There are people everywhere who form a Fourth World, or a diaspora of their own. They are the lordly ones! They come in all colours. They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists. They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor. They may be patriots, but they are never chauvinists. They share with each other, across all the nations, common values of humour and understanding. When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, becuase they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex or your nationality, and they suffer fools if not gladly, at least sympathetically. They laugh easily. They are easily grateful. They are never mean. They are not inhibited by fashion, public opinion, or political correctness. They are exiles in their own communities, because they are always in a minority, but they are from a mighty nation, if they only knew it. It is the nation of nowhere."
