= Welcome to Sam's super awesome page!! =

=== My name is Samuel Karl West. I was born on September the 18th 1983. I grew up on an orchard just outside of Orange in the central west of NSW. I went to school from K-12 at Kinross Wolaroi School where I enjoyed art and drama the most and loved playing tennis and waterpolo among many other sports. After school I spent a year working at a crappy retail job in Orange before making the move to Sydney. I moved in with a few friends from Orange and had a great year working in a second hand clothes store and generally enjoying myself. after a year I was bitten by the travel bug after hearing the stories from my best mate who had been living in London for a year. My wonderful Mumsie bought me a ticket for an early 21st birthday present and off I went to live in the mother country. It was cold. I didn't do a huge amount of travelling as I was basically there to experience living in a different country, and I was working to feed myself week to week!!! I picked up my first bar job and entered the whirlwind realm of hospitality!! I had a great time that year and made some lifelong friends. While working at the pub I managed to win a raffle that sent me to the Canary Islands for a week, which conveniently fitted in with my 21st birthday!! I would go into detail more about this trip however my memory is slightly hazy over this period! I headed back to Sydney and spent a few years working in various bars and trying my hand at hotel management. As much as I enjoyed this for a while I realised that this wasn't really what I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life. I spent a while thinking about what path to take including interior design, landscaping and a few other things but decided finally to pursue what seems to run in my family, Teaching! Grandmother, Grandfather, Mum, Sister and various Aunties and Uncles all teachers!! I Spent a year doing an entrance course to get into uni as I was a mature age student and needed to prove I wasn't suffering from dementure just yet, and as they say, the rest is history!! ===

Love from Sam
