Left home at the beginning of 2004 on a journey of self discovery. Then realised that the self is constantly evolving. So now culturally confused, socially irrelevant, insanely open-minded, unreasonably flexible with life. I'm constantly looking to learn from others and share our experiences through this journey called "life".

"It's better to live your destiny imperfectly than to live the imitation of someone else' with perfection."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For 37 days I walked the El Camino de Santiago, went through life changing spiritual and mythical experience, and came out a different person. Then did it again 10 years later!

Hiked for 4 days in the out-of-this-world Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia. Never seen anything so pristine!

Lived in Colombia for over a year and survived. lol...

Teach, Learn, Share

The more I teach, the more I learn
The more I learn, the less I know
The less I know, the happier I become
The happier I become, the more I share
The more I share, the richer WE become
