About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm an astronomy student living in Cape Town. I love the spending time in nature and seeking out the path less traveled. I draw my energy from the high places of the world and love expereincing different cultures and gaining different perspectives. One of my favourite things in the world is making music with other people. My free time I spend exploring the mountians around the Western Cape, or further afield. I am also passioate about environmental protection and preserving our beautiful world for future generations of surfers!
