About Me

2023 update…….
Left ibiza in July, travelling around Europe and on to Asia in my camper, not used couch surfing for many years. Travelled to 98 countries. Looking to surf & meet people again (although I do have a shower in the van, it’s not the largest). And happy to accept surfers, I have a sofa/bed in addition to my double bed in the camper. Route: Norway to Nepal.

Written 2015: seems like it’s all still true…. Haha.

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to avoid the rat race at all costs and keep travelling forever!!

ABOUT ME

Finished Uni, worked a ski season, got a "proper job" well, a 9-5. Escaped to travel on a round the world ticket, then back to Thailand, taught diving for 6 months, travelled back to Europe overland. I've worked in Ibiza last 3 summers, skippering boats and teaching wakeboarding.
A few Winters ago I sailed across the Atlantic and spent the winter working on various boats in the Caribbean. Then on to the Maldives working on a 70m superyacht for one of the richest guys in the world,
Most winters travel and snowboarding.
Travelled to over 60 countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the max, have no regrets, dont worry about anything, do things that make you happy. Most of all HAVE FUN!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen a squealing live pig tied upside down on the back of a moped being driven around the streets of Seam Reap.

Saw a man stood on the corner of the street, with a gun (to shoot the police), a home made bomb (to detonate when the police arrived), a hand grenade ( to throw at the police) and a firework (to alert all the other drug dealers that the police were entering the Slum). Rio de Janeiro

Cat soup by accident was also quite tasty!!! Vietnam Hill tribe.
