Interests

I love all sports and outdoor pursuits. While i´ve been traveling i´ve become a diver master so that is a new hobbie that i am enjoying. I am also extremely excited to get down to the Andes so i can try out the skiing in south American. But when I am at home my passion is football and it is obvious that Latin Americans are just as passionate if not more so than everyone in the U.K.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the most amazing things i´ve done and seen have been on my travels. Working and ski in Whistler, Canada. Visiting the Grand Canyon and Alcatraz in the States. Hand fishing with locals in Fiji. Watching the All blacks destroy the British Lions in New Zealand. Sailing the whitsundays in Australia. Dancing all through the night at the full moon party in Thailand. Now I am traveling in the Americas and I´ve so far seen Mayan ruins and watched local indigenous people making traditional arts and crafts in Mexico and Guatemala. I´ve dived with Dolphines, Manta Rays snd Whale Sharks in the crystal clear waters of the Caribean. And what is most exciting of all is that I still have the whole of south America to come!
