About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Gday, im a fun loving human from Australia. I love family, friends, travel and exploration, music and beer! I love the ocean and have surfed all over the world along with exstensive global travel. I enjoy new cultures, foods and meeting interesting people. Im humorous and dont take life to seriously.. Im now home in Australia, surfing, teaching, training and generally loving life:)!!

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover..... ID HAVE TO AGREE WITH MARK.. Have a crack!:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled around our beautiful planet(with so much more to see), seen people live and die! Cry, smile, love and sadly hate. An amzing thing ive done? Well.. id say my travels through very remote Indonesia, interacting with local communities and helping them with their daily tasks whilst also surfing through the amazing archipeligo. Also through my prior job lifeguarding in Australia having saved lives and working as a highschool teacher, a daily challenge and joy!

Teaching is an art and an education can come from many different sources. Knowledge is limitless! I love to teach and help others reach their potential.
