Spirited and yearn to make a difference in the world.

Love travelling, meeting new people and trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled through Africa and Europe with a backpack and a very small budget with a team of 10 as part of an outreach expedition for 8 months.

Served tea (chai) to refugees crossing the Macedonian-Serbian border.

Volunteered at a Coptic Orthadox Monastary in the Egyptian dessert - built a wooden pig fence, tiled a lifesize chess board and spring cleaned the church.

Took a 40 hour overcrowded train ride across Tanzania in extreme heat where the floor was the only seat free.

Exquisite afternoon tea experience at Ashford Castle in county Mayo, Ireland.

Cycled from the Bo Kaap in Cape Town along the atlantic seaboard to Simon's Town in the Cape Peninsula.

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel, hiking, ventures, knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share a meal, coffee, interesting conversation, travel experiences, good sense of humour and perhaps a local outing. An invitation to be a guest in my home.
