One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I kayaked from mainland Australia to the Whitsunday islands, destination Whithaven beach, for a week. Most people take the boat out to the island but we used human-power. I can't really put into words my experience and there are no pictures to illustrate it (camera got wet.) On this trip I witnessed completely remote islands (save the inhabiting crocodile, sharks, massive sea turtles and killer march flies,) near death experiences and great accomplishment. Ask me about it sometime.

Teach, Learn, Share

On the top of my list of what I would like to learn: aikido, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, salsa dance, piano, guitar and how to whittle wood.

I was a swimmer for 14 years and would be up for teaching anyone how to swim or improve their technique. I also know a few hooping tricks and am always up for a trick share!

I would also like to collaborate with someone to cook and bake, when two minds combine some of the best dishes are created!
