CURRENT MISSION

Saving Endangered Primates in Ghana

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Ghana and lived in South Africa for ten years. I have traveled all over Africa and North America, plus a bit of Japan and a bit of Europe. My best friends would say that I am a respectful and trustworthy person, a considerate house guest and that I have a strong appreciation of all types of types of people and cultures. I love traveling in Africa and also helping other people get to know and explore the wonders of this amazing continent.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that there is good in everyone and all of us share some commonality. I spend a lot of my time traveling and I think that respect for other people and there property, time and space is a really important component to making and keeping close friends all over the world. I accept people for who they are and value the differences as well as the simalarities.
