About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Gradually ticking off the places on my list

ABOUT ME

Got into travelling after a backpacking trip on my gap year - before which I had hardly been away from home! I've picked up the bug and now want to see more as life is too short to stand around doing nothing. Belong to a family of boys who are all into sport, cricket is the main one that I both play and coach. Love my music and expanding my horizons as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make it, so make it happen! Don't go through life saying "If only I...", it'll just eat away at you later on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Fox Glacier in New Zealand from 12,000ft up while falling at 200kph. I have severe vertigo and still managed to do it! Going up was far worse than coming down, although its was easier having a professional strapped to my back.
