ABOUT ME

BJJ competitor, love the bjj lifestyle.

Born in a small town in New Zealand called Kawerau, I always wanted to know more about the world.

My passion is travel and every aspect of my life is tapered to that. I run internet businesses which allow me to travel. After sitting tight for a few years to grow multiple businesses, I am on the road again, literally.

Ever since I started traveling when I was 21, I never felt more at peace with myself unless I was on the road and learning from different cultures, so that is what I have done, and it is kicking ass!

My passions: BJJ, Food, Lifting, Cycling, Socialising, Clubbing & Festivals, Trading Currency, Affiliate Marketing, Conversion Optimisation.

PHILOSOPHY

Pure ENTJ.

Life is here to be experienced with things that get you excited and meet great people to share those experiences with.

I have travelled to around 60 countries around the world and am on a mission to travel to a bunch more.

Teach, Learn, Share

A few excerpts from my favorite author Tim Ferriss.

"Reality is negotiable."

"The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is... boredom. Excitement is the more practical synonym for happiness, and it is precisely what you should strive to chase."

"True freedom is much more than having enough income and time to do what you want. It is quite possible - actually the rule rather than the exception - to have financial and time freedom but still be caught in the throes of the rat race. One cannot be free from the stresses of a speed-and size-obsessed culture until you are free from the materialistic addictions, time-famine mind-set, and comparative impulses that created it in the first place."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have mentored many people on how to start online businesses and how to trade currency. I will do the same if interested.
