About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To boldly seek out adventures few others are interested in!

ABOUT ME

I graduated from University last June and after a summer of building up some money have been on the road since including 6 weeks in Mexico, 6 weeks in Vancouver at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, 4 weeks touring British Columbia and a few mini trips in between all that.

Now I'm off to the World Cup in Africa to catch some games, tour the coast and then Overland from Cape Town to Kenya. I will also be doing developmental work while I am in Tanzania!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal goal is to never take life too seriously. The day I stop smiling is the day I've stopped living.
