"Two years ago I made a decision that changed my life in a way I never expected. I decided I wanted to go on a tour in Thailand where instantly I fell in love with travelling. It opened my eyes to a world of opportunity, freedom and risk. I am the kind of guy who likes taking risks and learning from the risks.
I grew up saying "Life is only the adventure you like it to be" which is how I live my life. I want to one day look back on my life and say I lived!
Now I have my dream job where I can help other people see what an amazing world we live in. I want others to be able to see what the world can do for you once you just take a risk and travel. "
