About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people, have fun, learn explore

ABOUT ME

I am a Camera Man/Assistant producer working in Television. I love to be creative and make films and animations and writing. I really like meeting new people and have enjoyed couch surfing in Europe and South America. I am very interested in outdoors activities, bush craft and other wild things. I am also very interested in history.
My first trip out of Europe was traveling through South Africa and Swaziland, on a conservation filming expedition.
I am looking to find new adventures, experiences and fun times as well as meet new people. I am very friendly and open minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn explore enjoy, and hopefully help the planet in some way

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played football in a team of 4 again about 20 children in South Africa with 2 tennis balls, it was a really poor village but the children seemed so happy, and they're feet are unbelievably tough, I saw one run barefoot over and old can without a flinch
