About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save for the next adventure

ABOUT ME

I got the travel bug a while back after doing some traveling around Europe and South East Asia. Then after two years kick-starting my career I quit my job, waved goodbye to NZ and went for an 8 month trip around South America, Mexico and more of Europe. I'm back home now and itching for another overseas jaunt.

PHILOSOPHY

To be happy is an act of courage.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of movies, especially one's that are a little quirky. Off the top of my head; The Fall, Moonrise Kingdom, Amelie, Intouchables, Extremely loud and Incredibly close, Silver linings playbook, End of Watch. That said I'm a sucker for a block buster or a chick flick, not to mention any of the Harry Potter series.

Night Circus is an incredible book. Fiction or non fiction I love a good read. Born to run and Bill Bryson's A short history of everything are great non fictions.

I love to dance. Also anything I can sing a long too (not very well) is also ideal. I love being introduced to new artists and genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing monks do their rounds at the crack of dawn in Laos, going for a dip in the ocean surrounding a tiny island off Rhodes. Swimming with whale sharks off the coast of Mexico. Watching a square full of old people dance the night away in Rosario, Argentina. So many great things.
