One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being held at gunpoint by rebels in the DRC, meeting the General of their army, and spending the night at his house.

Living in a Parisian artist squat.

Selling sandwiches on the Streets of New Zealand to pay rent when I was 19.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some amazing things I have learned have been from the bums of the world. They always have that special insight into society and plenty of booze and time to let you know all about it.
