About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Boating life

ABOUT ME

I've been travelling since I was 18, bussing through Mexico, bungeeing NZ, surfing Sri Lanka, hitching in Turkey, bumming around Morocco, English teaching in Istanbul, biking through France, and working in South African hostels.

I spent the last 9yrs based in London, but since moving onto a boat have begun travelling round England's waterways. I've been helped out of many a tight corner by friendly locals all over the world, so it's time to give a bit back.

So come visit me on the boat, there's room for one or two, or three at a push. :)
