CURRENT MISSION

Just enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

At last I am a FREE man. I am retired and life is a joy. I have all the time in the world to do what I always wanted to. I grew up in Cape Town and decided to retire 17 years ago to be able to enjoy a relaxed life while I am still young enough to do the things I always wanted to. I love the sea and beaches and the mountains.
I know Table Mountain quite well and I am always game for a hike.
I like the company of friendly, funny, interesting people with a love of hiking.
I usually travel with a backpack. Last trips to Papua, Indonesia and Mauritius.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life now! I do not think there will be a second chance!
