ABOUT ME

HEY =) I am a NZ engineer, respectful & fun, travelling the world to get a better handle on the world's diversity. I love different cultures, languages and leaving the tourist trail to meet *real* people of a country.

I recently move to Santiago and am working freelance on a couple of new ideas

Pursue your dreams, the years flash by before you know it.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe anything is possible, sometimes we just don't know how to do it yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through the rice patties in the delta after Cyclone Nargis, stretching fields flat for miles in each direction, with my crew of Burmese day workers, setting up water collection tanks in remote villages.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share from my experiences from weeks trekking in Burmese rice patties with no english speakers, electricity or running water...Or exploring central smog filled chinese cities...Or hitchhiking in Japan..Or motorcycling USA! Or Sailing the Pacific Ocean on a aluminium cargo ship!

Go with the subtle nudges you feel, never let fear restrain you.
