About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have an apartment in Medellin with a spare room and double bed and feel guilty for having so much space!

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a sheep farm in New Zealand and my main travels have been in Latin America. I currently live and work in Colombia, where set up a café with a friend: https://www.facebook.com/cafezorba and also organise music and arts events.
... Latin America all began when I left my job (working for a mobile broadcasting company) and purchased a ticket to Guatemala with the plan of learning some Spanish and having an adventure!

Crecí en el campo rodeado de ovejas en Nueva Zelanda y he viajado más que todo en América Latina. Actualmente vivo y trabajo en Colombia, donde llegue a montar un café con un amigo: https://www.facebook.com/cafezorba y donde también organizo eventos musicales y artísticos.
... en cuestión de América Latina todo comenzó cuando renuncié a mi trabajo en un estudio televisivo móvil y compró un vuelo de solo ida a Guatemala, con el plan de aprender español y tener una aventura!

PHILOSOPHY

"Saber que no se sabe, eso es humildad. Pensar que uno sabe lo que no sabe, eso es enfermedad." Lao Tzu

"Everything can be taken from a person but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Viktor Frankl

"Oh public road you express me better than I can express myself. You shall be more to me than my poem." Walt Whitman

"We can harness the energy of the winds, the seas, the sun. But the day man learns to harness the energy of love, that will be as important as the discovery of fire." Paulo Coelho
