CURRENT MISSION

To have as many new experiences in life as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurous dude. I really like challenging myself to be in new foreign locations while meeting interesting people, having adventures, and just generally running amok.

My girlfriend Sabina is my fellow ninja and adventure/travel partner. She gets me into as much trouble as I get myself into, and she's always up for anything!

PHILOSOPHY

*No Worries
*Be yourself
*Try everything at least once
*Work hard and play harder
*Smile - it makes people wonder what you're up to
*Take risks - injuries heal
*Never mind the bollocks
*It's only money
*Don't be afraid to leave home - it'll be there when you get back
*Always ask - the worst that can happen is that someone says no

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was on a safari in Tanzania, I saw a leopard (which is inherently rare on its own) attack and kill an impala. While I was standing on the roof of the tour vehicle, the leopard dragged the impala right past us, less than 6 feet from where I was standing. It was really indescribable. (Check it out in my Pictures).

It's a reminder, I suppose, that life is short and just when you think that things are going well, a large carnivorous cat chomps down on your neck...Live life to the fullest, at every opportunity, every day, my friends. And make sure you're not the slowest impala in the herd.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a Grand Master at Origami, a quadruple black belt in Kung Fu, an intermediate at chess, an amateur sous chef, a fifth level Kama Sutra instructor and an expert in twin-cutlass sword-fighting.

Ok, I'm kidding about everything above (except the sword-fighting [and the chess]) but I do get paid to teach people how to fly airplanes, so that must count for something.

Also, I have a lot of fun surfing. I'm pretty shite at it but I'm a patient teacher, so let's get better together...
