About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live more selflessly and do small things with great love.

ABOUT ME

I'm so thankful for each new day. I'm always up for an adventure and I love getting to know people. Being outside is my favourite! Some other things I love are surfing, family, spontaneity, being barefoot, creativity, speaking Spanish, scrabble, mango, deep conversations, live music and slacklining.

PHILOSOPHY
"Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide." - CS Lewis

"Love your neighbour as you love yourself" - Jesus

Music, Movies, and Books

movies - rarely watch movies but I do like the odd documentary or movies that make me think.

music - I love lots..acoustic, soul, funk, jazz and latin music are some of my faves.

books - ahh, books. love allsorts. a relaxed day that involves a lot of reading (preferably on the beach) is a good day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a 6000+ metre mountain in Bolivia.. Twice. Amazing and cold.
Swam and surfed and saw fish darting around in incredibly blue bioluminescent water one night in Huanchaco, Peru. Truly surreal and magnificent.
