About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel the world... one mountain, forest, river, or ocean at a time

ABOUT ME

Im a kiwi travelling round the world. I finished my degree, then my parents sold up the family house and moved onto a boat, so im getting out there and see what this earth is all about.
My passion is for the outdoors, but anything that gets my blood pumping is fine with me
I love meeting new people and sharing stories, but more importantly, going on missions and creating new stories with them.

PHILOSOPHY

the only bad opportunities are missed ones

Teach, Learn, Share

im a dive master, zoologist (bit of a stretch but i have a degree), outdoorsman and pretty good at speaking english (just cant spell) so happy to share my knowledge and stories in those fields.
Im keen to learn another language, play an instrument and gain some more practical skills
