I'm an outgoing 19 year old that likes to have fun and laugh at life. I love dancing, taking photos and I can't live without music. I am honest, reliable and very trustworthy. I also like to travel, and have seen some amazing parts of the world. I feel I have covered a broad amount of experience for my age and have done a fair bit with my life to date, although I know there's a lot for me left to do before I'm completely satisfied. My hobbies include photography, dancing, acting, singing and I also enjoy scuba diving, snow boarding, horse riding and generally being outdoors in the better weather.
