One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Kilimanjaro was pretty amazing for me, I know a lot of people have done it but the sense of achievement and the friends I made make it pretty high up on the amazing list!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked in international development for many years so hope I have some skills there although I am acutely aware that there is so much more to learn and hope my fellow surfers and hosts might help on that front!
