CURRENT MISSION

Broaden my horizons, see the world, learn more about myself & others

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old Aussie male travelling in the States. I was born in Zimbabwe but have since moved to Australia to settle and complete my studies as an engineer. I'm a Christian but that doesn't mean I'm not keen to get involved! I am straight but I am GLBT friendly. I love sport, outdoors, science, hanging out with mates and meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

'There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.' Albert Einstein

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Safari in the Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania). I was with my cousins who I hadn't seen together in over 10 years. We saw the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, cape buffalo & black rhino) in 2 days, saw a lioness with cubs and a leopard with cubs (all pretty rare). We also went in a hot air balloon and took some amazing photographs. We also witnessed the Great African migration- simply breathtaking! Finally we also took some great photos of Mt Kilimanjaro (after the safari), still haven't climbed it but that will come! I have plenty pictures with me to show of this adventure (and many others)!

Teach, Learn, Share
