One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born.
Swam with whale sharks in western Australia.
Swam with a wild pod of 300 or so dolphins in NZ.
Seen with my own eyes the northern lights (Aurora Borealis).
Dog sledging in Norway.
Travelled on a train across 4 time zones.
Was a spectator at the final day of the Mongolian national Nadadam festival in Ulaan Baator.
Travelling is amazing and I count myself very lucky in being able to do so.

Teach, Learn, Share

Travelling and meeting new folk is a fundamental part of understanding our human civilisation. Travelling is something that can't be taught from a text book, you have to see with your own eyes to really understand what is happening around our beautiful world. There's more good than bad being done in the world, lets not forget that. A topic that interests me very much is past and current conflicts, to understand why they exist and to think about how they can be resolved. I can only speak one language and I want that to change.
