Hi. I am an adventurer and have done numerous jobs including : Army medic, Back packer Tour operator and guide in Australia's Outback, an English teacher in Cambodia for 2 years,China 4 years and Sri Lanka for 10 months.I went back again and came up with an idea to help a family to build a small business that provided camping huts and facilities. Google: "Homestay Camping Anuradhapura Sri Lanka" to see the results. I am also a kite maker and travel to schools and teach kite making, in remote areas of Australia . For fun I have a sailing kayak (Hobie Island) and sail to uninhabited islands where I camp for up to 3 weeks. I volunteer for BlazeAid, helping farmers rebuild fences and buildings after major natural disaster.
