I was raised in a small mining town with nothing more than one good groceries store as the main attraction in the area... I quickly moved to the city to get a degree and now I am stuck in Pretoria as a civil engineer. I am not shy of organizing a trip and will jump into any adventure that comes my way. I have a great passion for the outdoors and sport and love cooking

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked 5 days in the Drakensberg with a friend over 80km. As we only had a marked trail the first and last day, we had to use a map and my phone's GPS to guide us through the mist and tricky terrain.
