About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do one thing a day that scares me. And one thing a day for another person.

ABOUT ME

I grew up Living in different places and travel and the pursuit for knowing more about the world just comes naturally. I aim to get the most out of life, the world is full of brilliant places and people and things to do. staying in the same spot and running over the same ground has minimal appeal. i try and trick myself into thinking I live a more outdoor lifestyle than I actually do, but then again its an aspiration which will hopefully lead me to great things.
Be out of my comfort zone, as terrifying as it is, is hugely rewarding, so i like throwing myself into random adrenalin sport/situations. I strive to be a 'YES' man to mostly anything.
And look forward to meeting amazing people and have unique crazy experiences.

Die fulfilled, no regrets.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, don't conform to or change your self for each situation.

Carpe Diem. Unless really hungover.

Act on impulse: If Hungry = Eat.
If Whitewater +Kayak = Paddle
If Mountains + Snow = Shred
If Booze + house = Party

Find happiness in the now and don't wish life away. If there is an opportunity take it.

Don't live up to my surname.
