About Me

I floated under the lights of Rio’s fireworks on NYE. I co-designed a children's survival course on how to survive being lost in nature, and taught it to German children in a forest on the border of Germany and Netherlands. I floated under the lights of Rio’s fireworks as Copacabana welcomed another year. I slept among backpacks in a rental car along the coast of Biarritz, France. I drove across Spain. I swam during Croatian sunset on a paradise island. I hitchhiked to Switzerland and climbed the Alps with a Mexican. I won a drinking challenge at Munich`s Oktoberfest, while standing on a table, and wearing actual lederhosen. I saw the city lights of Budapest from a secret balcony. I got carsick while trying to get to a small coastal Italian village. I pub-crawled Prague. And then created my own pub-crawl across Brussels. I fought warriors in a Polish medieval festival in Krakow. I took a 10 hour BlaBlaCar with crying babies and barking dogs to Vienna. I travelled across Brasil to find an African. I almost lost my life falling from the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. I slept outside Liverpool’s train station, at night, in winter. I went to a Slovakian rock festival in Bratislava and still don’t quite understand what was happening. I tried to eat all the Pão de Nata of Portugal in 10 days. I walked the colonial hills of Ouro Preto. I ran a mud race in Germany dressed as a ninja turtle. I hiked Table Mountain to overlook the beautiful city of Cape Town. I slept in a tent in Swaziland. I approached a wild rhino on foot. I lived around 20 days in an isolated river-side community in the Amazon, twice. I watched the sunrise while floating in the middle of the Amazon's black river.

But this is just where it begins.
