Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Making the most of the four months I have left before heading back to the other side of the world.
ABOUT ME
I enjoy getting outdoors and keeping active. While travelling I like to see and experience what the locals do, sometimes that means eating some random stuff but so far so good! For the past Year I've been working on a yacht mostly in Sardinia so have been learning Italian and hoping a 5 week stint studying in Bologna will bring me up to fluent conversational. Other than that I like to keep busy, wether its walking a new city and getting lost, going to a gig or just having a beer I like to make the most of being somewhere new.
PHILOSOPHY
Only those who risk going too far can find out how far one can truly go! C S Lewis! Basically always be willing to give something a go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
After 4 days of rain while camping, I drove into Seal Rocks, NSW with the sun shining and crystal clear water, I ran out into the surf with my board and had a pod of 6 dolphins swimming with me on some great waves!
