Long Story Short~
Europe
In my late teens I moved to London and worked various jobs. These included a Pop-up cinema steward, cleaner, PA and Office Assistant. Once I’d gained enough money from these roles, a friend and I set out to explore Europe in a tiny Renault Clio. My sister joined us half way and we had a blast!
South and East Asia
Next I decided to tackle South and East Asia, so with a week left till Christmas I brought a
one-way ticket and made my way around island hopping and border crossing.
Whilst there I fall down the rabbit hole of reading blogs following thru-hikers who spend the summer hiking from Mexico to Canada. Also known as the Pacific Crest Trail – a 2600 mile path up the west coast of the United States so….
Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail
Next I find myself jetting off to Los Angeles and heading to the Mexican border where I begin my trek. I walk through the Californian, Oregon and Washington avoiding wild fires, meeting people from all over the world and learning just how far I can travel with my own two feet.
Living & Working in the Yorkshire Dales
Obviously after doing all that I was in dire need of some money – I did work jobs in between but I needed a base and some solid, reliable income so I spent 8 months working in a hostel in the Yorkshire Dales. It was amazing and I learnt so much!
How to cook for 70 people, the quickest way to make beds, taught school children and lived in a National Park. I was able to save and enjoy a few holidays too.
Japan!
Japan! Daisuki! Man I loved Japan, I lived in a guest house for free in exchange for a few hours work. I also taught English in a school. After that I travelled around by hitchhiking.
I kept a vlog of my Ventures here.
Returning to New Zealand
After Japan I decided to head back to New Zealand.
I lived there when I was 14 but I was in school so I didn’t see much of the country.
I made my way around by hitchhiking, wild camping & volunteering for 4 months.
Australia
I popped to Australia for a month where I volunteered before heading to Asia.
Motorbike Roadtrip – Ho Chi Minh > Hanoi
Once in Vietnam, I met up my friend Fabienne and off we went on motorbikes,
Once back in the country, I returned to live in Yorkshire and decided to build a Tiny House.
I documented this journey on my Youtube channel along with my wild camping adventures, thru-hikes, trying to keep a vegetable garden alive as well as everything in-between.
UK – Somerset
I am currently living Off-grid in Somerset with Maximus Ironthumper and our four cats.We have a huge vegetable plot, a notice board full of adventures lined-up and numerous jobs on our to-do list 😀
Brought to you by Max Ironthumper 😊 I’m pleased to meet you 😊

Keïteï, a (hopefully) quick suggestion if I may.
This new site (but explicitly your blog entries) could do with an RSS/Atom feed being added, that would make it trivial for people to keep up with your timely content, commonly via a feed reader. If you are using WordPress to achieve the blog it should be little more than a checkbox operation to enable this and it will make your content much more approachable for new readers to keep up with.
BTW, your old blogspot site implicitly provided one, so I and many others have been following along via RSS for a while …

Hi Craig,
Thank you for your comment 🙂
I was unaware others were using RSS to follow my blog, thank you for letting me know.
I’ve added an RSS button which hopefully works 🙂
Thanks again for reading my blog.

Its working fine here, thanks for the quick turnaround.
BTW, feel free to purge the extraneous comments, I had a battle with my WP account/login process when commenting last time and it seems to have multiply logged the same comment 😉
Thanks again!
