As a nurse in various aspects of the profession I helped many people and worked for free in a few volunteer positions

I enjoy life and while I don't treat my body as a temple I also don't treat it as a rubbish dump

Never done any drugs, don't smoke, don't drink, well at least in Australia.

Currently in Bali for two weeks and each night have 2 beer over two to three hours with a meal and watch the night life of Kuta go past
