CURRENT MISSION

Delaying the career.

ABOUT ME

I studied Environmental Management for 4 years in the student town of Dunedin. After finishing the degree in 2007 I wanted to go travelling but my lack of money held me back. I went into the oblivion of Western Australia and saved my pennies for 7 months working as an Environmental Officer for a gold mine.

I've just traveled overland from Germany, through Poland, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria to Turkey for ANZAC day. Now I'm working in Annascaul, County Kerry in Ireland to save for future travels and, more importantly, experience the Irish.

PHILOSOPHY
