About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission... yes that is tricky to put into words!! I want to see and experience ALL that this world has to offer while I still can, remembering that without the negatives of life, you cannot truly appreciate the positives.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Swaziland, studied, lived and worked in SD, RSA, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea and now taking a year off... not a big city person, enjoy the outdoors, the bush and smaller places but that doesnt mean I dont enjoy being in a BIG CITY every now and then...

PHILOSOPHY

Ufundze uzu ufe!
A siSwati phrase that means "You learn until you die", philosophically though - you "die" when you stop learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up everyday. heheheh. Diving is always amazing but by far, so far, the THING is bungeeing off Victoria Falls bridge, Zim / Zam... 110 metres!!! Just the thought of it still makes me giggle with madness (excitement)

More recently was diving with a group of Manta Rays near Komodo Island!!!!
