ABOUT ME

Recently left my job to go back to uni to study environment and sustainable development.

Spent 10 months 2010/2011 traveling/working/volunteering and learning. Started off doing an internship at the Vietnam Green Building Council in Hanoi. Then continued my travels through NZ and Australia and South America working on organic farms.

PHILOSOPHY

Take the road as it comes and be open to opportunities. Don't waste time on regrets, its all karma.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The views from the top of the Mayan ruins at Tikal in Guatemala and seeing a little family of Spider monkeys playing amongst the tree tops and trying to contemplate how they were able to build all these amazing structures years ago with such limited tools and non-existent technology.
