CURRENT MISSION

To see the world

ABOUT ME

I left University in 2007 after graduating with degree in Graphic Design and have been backpacking pretty much since then, going home for a few month every now and again to save up and get away again!!

Probably the best trip for me was spending almost two years in Australia, the majority in a tent, camping and driving around the whole country. Ive also spent a long time in queenstown, new zealand, living and working in one of the best hostels ive stayed at - absoloot value accommodation.

I love the outdoors - camping, walking, hiking, 4x4 off-roading, driving, long road trips, cycling and most sports.

Im also a graphic designer and keen travel photographer and hope to make a career of it someday!

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever you want to do, do it now, for life is time and time is all there is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Things im proud of: Ive done a Skydive over the Whitsunday Islands in Australia from 14000ft and Ive jumped of the 2nd Highest Bungy Jump in the world at that time, the Nevis Highwire in Queesntown, New Zealand. I have also White Water rafted on a grade 5 river in New Zealand and climbed the Tonagariro Mountain Alpine Crossing. I traveled on my own through India and lived in a tent for six months in Oz.

Teach, Learn, Share
