About Me

CURRENT MISSION

rock climb

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy new experiences and speaking to people with amazing stories (sometimes the seemingly ordinary stories blow me away)I've travelled a lot since uni my first trip got me hooked and now i have trouble staying home longer than 6 months. I love the outdoors and sport, especially football (soccer), rock climbing and surfing. When im not doing that sort of thing i just want to spend time with friends/strangers and have great conversations, play dumb games and just have fun.

PHILOSOPHY

to learn new things everyday, about myself, others, the world, everything

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rock climbed Humanality in Tonsai, Thailand. It's a 5 pitch climb, over a hundred metre high overhanging a beautiful beach, with jungle on one side and sea on the other. It has one point where you have to reach out blindly behind you to grab a huge stalegtite. You let go and lean out and turn and just start to fall before you catch the stalactite. There's a hundred metres of air below your legs when you do this, it's the best feeling when you catch that stalactite. My friend and I stayed up in a tiny cave at the top of the climb for over half an hour just joking around making videos. It was definitely one of the most amazing and memorable moments of my life
