About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much and as many places as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am easy going and good at making friends quickly. I love hearing people's stories and will talk to pretty much anyone. I play guitar and sing, and if the sun is shining, you won't find me inside. I love hiking, sailing, biking, kayaking, swimming, surfing, freediving, photography and so much more!

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that if you aren't happy with something, you shouldn't do it. To me, it doesn't matter what anyone on the outside thinks, as long as you're happy, I say go for it!

Interests

Anything that requires me to be outside. Hiking, sailing, biking, kayaking, swimming, surfing, freediving, spearfishing, exploring, snowboarding, ice skating, photography, relaxing on a beach, reading, socializing, laughing, wine, stargazing...and I love trying new things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done so many amazing things since moving to New Zealand. Most notably though would be doing an open ocean crossing from New Zealand to Fiji, and then a second one from New Caledonia to New Zealand. Also, I've looked an Orca in the eye from my boat, and had them feeding on stingrays close enough that I could have touched them.

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In
