Born and bred in New Zealand, and ready to see the rest of the world!

Started from Hong Kong, and slowly made my way west towards Sweden over 3 months.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed basic training with the New Zealand Army. One of the mentally and physically challenging thing I've ever done in my life.

Woke up at 4am to go on 5 hour bus trip to see Mount Everest in freezing conditions.

I rode my motorbike from Hamilton to Wellington in New Zealand for 7 hours, at night, in winter, and in the rain. Needless to say the visibility was poor, it was cold, and super exhausting. I literally started shaking from the cold while riding through desert road! The most amazing thing is that I didn't crash on the way there and coming back.

Took a 17 hour train from Stockholm to Abisko to see the North Lights. It was an absolutely amazing experience being out in the winter wilderness, and then seeing the lights take shape.
