About Me

I first came into this world on the 12th of June 1992, did the normal thing living a normal life my whole childhood, went to little schools in a little town, 12 years went by and I began my high school years, that’s where I met Bruce and Will, they lived a couple of blocks down the street so from that day on we basically grew up together.

My first big adventure was when I had turned 14 and my family and I jetted off to Vanuatu for 2 weeks on a little island getaway holiday, I was just a young tucker and it was extremely amazing it was that trip that made me want to travel and see the world for what it is, explore everything I possibly could and learn everything there is to know about each culture I come across. Since that trip I have travelled to a few different countries and exploring what exotic places those countries have to offer.

About Me

My first adventure started in Thailand, on the lovely morning of the 10th day of the 3rd month of 1994. I came in to this beautiful world blessed with many curious adventurous brothers who helped shaped me into the thrill seeking young man that I am today. Moving from country to country for the first couple of years of my life I experienced lots of different cultures and saw many new and exciting things.

Since settling down in Australia in the year 2000, I haven’t really traveled overseas as much as I would like to have but I made up for it by going on glorious adventures instead. A little cottage in the woods with a vege garden near a small town is what I want. As well as the freedom to go anywhere, to do anything, to be anything, whenever I want as well as changing the world for the better is what I’m striving towards. I wish to see the whole world and experience all the glorious adventures that are out there.

Countries Visited

Australia, Lesotho, South Africa, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia.

Favorite Activities

Favorite Quote

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson
