About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Im a kiwi travelling round the world. I finished my degree, then my parents sold up the family house and moved onto a boat, so im getting out there and see what this earth is all about.
My passion is for the outdoors, but anything that gets my blood pumping is fine with me
I love meeting new people and sharing stories, but more importantly, going on missions and creating new stories with them.
PHILOSOPHY
the only bad opportunities are missed ones
