Change is constant.

I'm a friendly guy with a passion for analogue photography and surfing. I've always understood the world best through the lens and find that it is the medium that allows me to best express myself.

I grew up in Cape Town surrounded by mountains and the ocean and thrive off exploring it all. I'm always up for an adventure and tend to say yes more often than no.

Have an interest in understanding how humans and their cultures adapt in this constantly evolving world.

Been living along the Atlantic Seaboard and working in residential property development for the past couple of years, but recently decided to take the leap of backing myself creatively and taking full time travel on.

Simplicity and Sustainability.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music to suit the mood. Generally anything that moves me. Typically of the past but if it's new it should always be better live! Afro-funk, Jazz, Soul, blues, Rock, Indie, some Hip Hop...

Usually like to learn from the books I read or enjoy photo books, but a novel captures me every now and then too. A memorable recent was Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts and another insightful adventure I'd suggest diving into is African Saga - Mirella Ricciardi.
