CURRENT MISSION

Just moved to London and figuring out all out for the moment. So far a great adventure.

ABOUT ME

I was born curious and have found through my life that the more I discover, the more I realise I have to learn.
I thoroughly enjoy travel and would love to see 100 countries before I die. Got about 55 to go still so a long way off!
I love meeting people, enjoying wine and beer, reading, running marathons, trying new foods, dancing

PHILOSOPHY

Pretty simple really...make sure you do what you can in your life to leave the world a better place than when you arrived in it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing sight was witnessing the great migration of East Africa in Tanzania along with the Great Wall of China, Iguazu Falls. And I just love a sunset, especially and Africa one.

Teach, Learn, Share

Johannesburg is the biggest urban forest in the world and is the biggest city not located on the coast or on a major river...it was born on amazingly rich seam of gold. Whilst it's not high on most travelers lists it's a fantastic melting pot of African culture and you can visit places like Little Addis (Ethiopian community), Fordsburg (Indian) and Chinatown all in one day.
