About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the outdoor life

ABOUT ME

My most recent adventures include hiking part of the gr5 and the Camino Français. I enjoy the beauty of nature and walking gives you the best opportunity to take it in.

PHILOSOPHY

I like not taking anything too seriously. I enjoy meeting people, going out and getting to know them especially in new surroundings. Love seeing the world sometimes with a bit of a hangover.
