About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I think I am in that good stage of life were I have stopped stressing so much, and have figured out where I am going and what I want to do. I have a long standing passion for travelling, something I don't ever want to stop doing.

ABOUT ME

I am a biomedical engineering postgraduate, finishing off my studies in Cape Town. I am interested in most things I come across and love people who are passionate about what they do. A great conversation over a beer is half the fun of travelling. I do a lot of sport; from soccer to snowboarding, and I am most at home in the outdoors climbing, or hiking or camping.

Its been great so far. I think there are people out there who abuse system and damage the community, but for the most part its a great idea that people all over clearly resonate with!
