CURRENT MISSION

Running a charity in Ecuador, South America whilst learning how to be a father!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised on the island of Cyprus to English parents. I never felt at home in England.

So at 18 years of age I headed off on an adventure around the world that lasted about 10 years and involved a lot of friendly people helping me along the way.

It has stopped for the moment as I have set up a life in Ecuador where I run Al Agua. www.believeinsurfing.com
It's aimed at getting children to take care of the environment and teaching them to surf at the same time.

It's my way of giving back to all the people who helped me out along the way. It's completly volunteer and non profit so I also do a bit of English teaching to help bring in some money.

I now have a little boy who was born out in Ecuador and we live a very simple but very happy life out here.
We're working on getting a house with more than one room so we can start helping other people out on here also.

PHILOSOPHY

Helping people makes you happy.
