ABOUT ME

I'm a Public Happiness creator, i spend my days building projects to create more peace and well-being in the world. For ten years as a global volunteering community, but now relaunching as a blockchain backed economic system which rewards people for taking positive action on societal issues, like homelessness, climate emergency, loneliness and isolation.. pretty much anything our members care about and can find a great idea to make a difference to it.

Hosting is giving something back to all the wonderful people that helped me out on my travels and it's great to meet people who have been, and are going to interesting places

PHILOSOPHY

Being a kind person and trying to make a small positive change in the world gives my life its meaning

Music, Movies, and Books

the wrong way home by peter moore- i learnt everything i know about backpacking from this most excellent book...i was given it by a friend to scare me off a crazy trip i was thinking about and i've never travelled anywhere without it since :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

found a job as a whitewater rafting guide in New Zealand, i'd never been before and my first trip was a grade 5 (6 in american) ice/glacier melt river taking a helicopter (also my 1st) up to a place where very few feet had ever stood then rafting down.
the view was astonishing and water had this weird light blue glow (something to do with minerals) and was completely fresh, you could just scoop it up and drink it- when not holding on for your life down the rapids.

Teach, Learn, Share

got some good backpacking and hitchiking tips.
i have previously taught yoga, martial arts/self defence, snorkelling, whitewater rafting, caving, windsurfing...i enjoy passing on knowledge so just ask me about one of these.
i can also share what i know about slack lining (tight rope walking), trampoleening, ceroc dancing...and probably a few more things, i always like to be learning something new
