Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - most types except Sci-fi.

Books - I'm really enjoying biographies and non-fiction books at the moment. Inspirational stuff that makes me go WOW!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done heaps of amazing things so it's hard to choose just one! But one experience that really stands out is when I did an AFS student exchange to Costa Rica for one year back in 2002. I made lifelong friends and learnt Spanish which I now practise any chance I can get!

Living in Africa for 2 years when I was younger was pretty cool. Not that I remember much but it's made me want to go back there one day!

Meeting Ketut Leyer in Bali was cool!
