I'm the guy, but who am I?

I'm a traveler, I'm an adventurer, fitness enthusiast and business entrepreneur... but how did I get here? 

I was born and raised in Auckland New Zealand. Being raised by my single mother and both grandparents my entire life it has given me a different perspective and appreciation for all things in life. Listening to the stories and taking in the wisdom of old people like my grandparents is something I cherish. 

Going through my school years I wasn't an over achiever, I simply passed my necessary grades and participated in sport without making a name for myself. 

Growing up as a child I had the unfortunate position of being over weight and the fat kid in school, which in hindsight I'm grateful for the lessons it taught me. 

It's what drive me to join a gym as a teenager to change my life and ultimately start a career pathway. 

Leaving school I got work and simply enjoyed having money to spend for a while, before realizing what I wanted to do. Studying personal training and fitness opened up a career door, and following my studies at the age of 20 I got employed by New Zealands leading fitness gym corporation, Les Mills. Operating my own successful business as a PT for a couple of years my life was on an upward trend. 

After reaching a point where I needed change I decided to take the desk chair and manage a gym instead, I felt the leadership challenge is what I wanted. 

Over this entire period I was in a relationship which ended suddenly and painfully. As a means of coping I expanded my horizons and interests, which lead me to becoming addicted to outdoor adventures and exploration, a new appreciation for history and culture. 

I felt I needed to do something big, so I booked myself a big holiday, but more of an overseas adventure than a holiday. 

I had to abandon my job at the gym and I left the country, bound for Europe for 2 month of travel. I didn't know how long to go for or quite what to expect, I was frankly nervous and scared. 

Once I got there everything changed, not just my nerves but by the end of my trip my entire outlook on life was different. What I appreciated, what I wanted, my horizons and goals. I was hooked on the feelings and knowledge travel gave me, and so an addiction began. 

I believe travel is the best education in life money can buy. 

Following my return I met my partner, she is my everything and we connect like I've known her my whole life. 

We hit the ground running together and haven't stopped, 

Only a year into our relationship we had travelled several times, pursued goals and even moved countries. 

We moved away from New Zealand to our neighbour Australia, setting up our lives in the Gold Coast. 

We both share a passion for travel, which lead us to both working in the industry as travel agents. 

We now have the fun job of building holidays for people. 

We continue to expand our horizons together, taking on everything life has to offer. 

We travel, we explore and adventure, we have fun and we have decided to start sharing this in our blog and YouTube channel, just another way we are expanding our goals. 

We have many plans ahead, we hope you all enjoy hearing about them as they unravel.
