About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience everything

ABOUT ME

I have quit my job and decided to do some solo travel.mI am currently travelling around South America. Looking to meet some local people, hopefully improve my Spanish, definitely learn to salsa and see the culture from a different angle.

I enjoy new experiences and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Self improvement is limitless.
Life is what you make it.
If you are closed to other peoples' opinions, you will learn nothing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This whole trip has been an amazing experience, made even more so by the wonderful people I have met. The plethora of individual events cannot be listed but they include; reaching the summit of a +6000m mountain in Bolivia; holding a tarantula in the Amazon; coordinating volunteers at an animal sanctuary and looking after monkeys rescued from the black market; climbing Corcovado in Rio and seeing the look on all the tourists' faces as I scaled the banister at the end.

I also consider professional development an important part of our lives. I am only a very junior lawyer however I have had the privilege of some amazing work experience including as an associate for a Supreme Court Judge and being part if a prosecution workgroup that charged and prosecuted child sex predators and assisted in the shutting down of child pornograohy rings.
