Grew up in Newcastle, Australia and then studied and graduated from College U.S.A in 2015. I was there for 3.5 years on a soccer scholarship and studied geology and biology.

I have been traveling since December 13th, 2015 in Caribbean, Europe, USA (28 States), Canada and Colombia. I lived on Colombia for almost two years and went to Ecuador briefly and back to Peru for some hiking in Huaraz

Always interested to hear and meet people from different edges of the world. An understanding of the diversity of culture in the world is a long journey that begins with the paths around us. Everyone is an expert at something in their own right.

I document all my travels through photography. A passion that continues to burn.

I have hosted some guests when I was living in Cartagena. Reciprocity makes the world go round.

Also, this is my home town: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/travel-tips-and-articles/76165

Most people complain about it from home, but I love it, and LP appears to appreciate it too. Come visit!
