About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To exlpore Our Good Earth and capture it through my photography and the written word!

ABOUT ME

I am a photographer and writer that grew up in East London, South Africa. I studied in Cape Town and have also lived in George and Port Elizabeth.

In Jan 2012 I moved to the Seychelles, where I began working at the TODAY in Seychelles newspaper - the countries only independent, apolitical paper. Since then I have set up my own business here that specialists in media and creative consultation and offers a range of services such as web-design, video, writing and photography.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an endless sea of opportunity, the power to decide gives us the power to do anything, to see anything, to be anything. Do what you do well, and treat the earth, its people and its creatures with love and respect and they will do the same to you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best way to travel - it makes the experience personal, and travel becomes less about being the voyeur observing an new culture from the outside in, and more of a human experience, because without that what are we really anyway?

Interests

Surfing, diving, sailing, nature, animals, culture, photography, the little moments that make up the bigger picture!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - i love the narrative power of cinema. Exciting times - it gets better and better. Recent greats - Cloud Atlas, Mr. nobody, The Hobbit, Life of PI.

Music - everything from jazz to hip hop, rock to reggae, folk to electronic and everything in between!

Books - Read people read, for it will free your mind and expand your horizons!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every Day on the path through life - if headed in the right direction - is filled with amazing things seen and done!

Teach, Learn, Share

All I can do is share my view of this world through the eye of my lens, the words I write and the conversations we may one day have!
