About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find one......???!

ABOUT ME

Ouch this is hard..., I study chemistry but that's only what I do, I get bored with whatever I do within light speed, I have to be planning my next trip/tour/adventure whenever the previous one ends.

PHILOSOPHY

Do one thing everyday that scares you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing a Drakensberg hike in winter, through waist deep snow, this also accounts for the most amazing views I've had.
I have toured along South Africa's south coast by bicycle in December 2007 camping wherever night caught me for 8 days.
Hitchhiking through Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Climbing Spitskoppe in Namibia.
