About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out.

ABOUT ME

I like to think I'm a easy going guy whose always up for a new experience. My main passions lie in film, music and extreme sports so my motives in life always seem to revolve around those three subjects.

I'm currently traveling the world. So far I've spent two unforgettable months exploring the towns, cities and people of South America. I spent a year in Australia and a year in New Zealand, then 3 months exploring South East Asia. Followed by 7 months in Scotland. Now I'm settling down for the winter season in Canada. I'm constantly seeking recommendations of where in the world to go next so any tips you have, please don't hesitate.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything at least once!
Live life to it's fullest!
Keep moving, seek out new experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done in my life would have to be a sky dive. The feeling of falling 15000 feet was mind blowing. I enjoyed it so much that I've decided that I'm getting my sky diving licence one day. Another life box ticked!

Working as a chalet host on a ski season in Alp D'Huez, France. 5.5months of skiing, snowboarding, cooking good food, meeting life long friends and free chalet wine :) A truly wonderful experience.

Mountain biking Death Road in Bolivia, witnessing the power of Iguazu Falls in Argentina, hand gliding over Rio in Brazil, trekking for 5days to Machu Picchu in Peru, white water rafting in America and snowboarding in deep powder in France.
