About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sailing along the west coast of Indonesia looking for surf, kiting boarding and general epic stuff to do.

ABOUT ME

Over the last 4-5 years I have been Sailing around the South Pacific and Australia, working jobs to pay for keeping Rhombus up and running and cruising around some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen (still more to come no doubt) I Have an ambition to sail around the world, and although my route is constantly changing as I find out about more amazing places from travellers at the moment the plan is around the bottom of South Africa to Brazil then around the bottom of South America through the fiords and back into the Pacific via Chile.

And I plan to take my time

PHILOSOPHY

I like having an easy going attitude but working hard at what I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed from one country to another, competed for my country in some of the worlds heaviest waves Bodyboarding. Seen a humpback whale swim under the boat in 10 meters of water, those are the first thigs that come to mind but I am happy with what I have done and am still doing.
