ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm and went to school in the small town of Graaff-Reinet. I eventually escaped for my University experience in Stellenbosch at which I got a bachelors in commerce, I've spent the better part of 2012 in Thailand teaching English and now I'm in the process of making my move back to South Africa to start my career.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught English in Thailand! It is amazing how a language many people take for granted is so sought after here in Thailand. The kids are so eager to learn it is a really rewarding experience being a teacher.

Watched the sunrise over the temples in Bagan, Myanmar. One of the most breathtaking sights ever!
