About Me

ABOUT ME

There's a lot to see and a lot to do in life. I hope I get get to scratch the surface before I pop my clogs.

I travel to see how the world is different from home, from my imagination and from books and TV. When I go to a new place my first mission is usually to find a hill nearby and climb it to see the view. I love getting outside and finding hidden nature. I host to be entertained and expand my mind.

Taking youth groups on adventures where they see the world makes my life complete.

If you want an insight into my personality, I went around the world in 2013 and made a blog about it, it's a bit old though...
