CURRENT MISSION

Look at the world through my own eyes and not through a guidebook

ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic guy who is always keen to try new things. I have been university educated in the UK and am a keen swimmer. I also enjoy diving and exploring new places, Dont eat sea food through choice - I'd rather swim with them alive than see them on my dinner plate! I have a keen interest in photography and some of my work has featured in a calendar in the UK.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for living, so work for life and nothing else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been very lucky.
Was in a hollywood movie once with Russell Crowe. Been to Antarctica, Swam with Hammerheads, Pink Dolphins and Whale sharks. Technically been to every continent on earth. Bungee Jumped, Sky dived, been to the bottom of the sea, got engaged under a million stars in the middle of the outback. Watched the Aurora until the sun came up. Driven all around Australia and just completed a rather epic road trip throughout Western North America. Seen lots of wild animals, Jaguars in the Pantanal, Great White Sharks of South Australia, Orangutans of Sumarta, Komodo Dragons of Indonesia and Rhinos in Nepal, nearly all of the major Fauna in North America. Seen a Volcano blow up, cruised the Galapagos, hiked Patagonia, been to Mount Everest base camp, met royalty.
