"The very core of man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. There’s never a dull moment with TDA, because you absolutely never know what’s going to happen next. I fell in love with Africa all over again on that trip. TDA has taken me to 80 countries and my most incredible off-the-beaten-track expedition was the West Africa scout in 2017, especially Guinea-I’d never been to a place so remote, rough or wild. I’m based in beautiful Cape Town when I’m not here, I’m scouting, exploring, problem-solving somewhere in the world and revelling in the adventure of being alive. I’ve worked on other tours-the Silk Route, the Bamboo Road, Ruta Maya, Magical Madagascar-but Africa is my full-time project and has lately included TDA’s complex tour of West Africa. In 2009, I landed the job as TDA’s assistant tour director on the Cairo to Cape Town trip-and the rest is history.Įver since, Africa has been my baby and my favourite. I stayed at Warriors for three years, then cycled solo across Africa when I was 22 years old. Having my attitude and my comfort zone constantly pushed readied me for all sorts of real-world challenges. There, I was free to discover and explore who I was and to test physical and mental endurance. I chose Warriors and the programme equipped me for life by giving me a solid foundation. In 2003, I saw a magazine ad of a bunch of cyclists lined up in front of the Giza pyramids and I became hooked on the idea of doing that but I had to choose between taking a four-month cycling trip across Africa or going to Warriors Boot Camp to get educated. When I left school I had no direction, no idea of where I wanted to be or what I wanted to do, once my dream of flying died. However, it wasn’t long before I realized that flying in a straight line from point A to point B wasn’t for me! As well, I knew from a young age I wanted to explore, travel, and see the world-my dream at one time was to fly airplanes. “The thing I love most about my job is watching the social dynamics unfold.”įor as long as I can remember I’ve been stripping, fixing, and riding bicycles.
