One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Numerous wildfires as a volunteer fire fighter.

5 weeks living in the bush for anti-poaching training.

Roadtripping/hitchhiking/chasing bulls/crazy parties with my aussie friend Henry across Spain,France,Italy

Been on a Nuclear Submarine and sailed around False Bay in the President of South Africa's ship.

Hitchiking across Mauritius, eating sugarcane and mangoes from the roadside, hiding in caves from rain while walking 10km to a disappointing tourist attraction. The journey is more important than the destination...
