CURRENT MISSION

To grow stronger as a person challenge my own way of thinking, meet cool people and see amazing stuff

ABOUT ME

I started my first experience of travelling at 25 after deciding i wanted to see abit more of the world(and also hoping to have a year off doing anything too serious is more like it :)
At home I use to work in a bar and work in fitness so I tend to have complete contradictions of lifestyle but I figure a healthy lifestyle is important and that can involve having fun too.
I have a quite silly sarcasic sense of humour and try not to take anything including myself too seriously.
The first year I travelled to South America,New Zealand,Aus,Borneo and India, I have met some amazing people(who recommended CS).After A quick trip home to the Uk I have returned to NZ and now live in wanaka with my partner.I currently became a new zealand resisdent after 3 years of being here
Travel has lead me to have the most incredible experiences and I try not to take it for granted.
I am not necesarilly the extreme sports traveller although I love getting out there and seeing as much as possible and try to say yes to all new experiences no matter how different(and scary)

PHILOSOPHY

Spend more time doing rather than just being!!
In 20 years from now you will regret the things you didnt do not the ones you did.
I am natural cautious ie.scared of heights so if something scares me ie .mountain biking in ecuador on huge mountains I am trying to get a grip and do it...
it should be said I have been doing things and i am infact.... still scared :)
open your mind to everything.
