For fifteen years of my short life here on earth I was part of the many negative statistics that defined the youth of South Africa. 1. Was dependant on drugs and alcohol 2. Had low self-esteem 3. Could not keep a stable job 4. Spent long stretches of time without a job, sometimes for more than a year 5. I saw no progress in my life and career for many years after completing high school 6. Got into trouble with the law a couple of times, almost ended up in jail and having a criminal record 7. Tried to commit suicide because I was tired of making bad choices and hurting the people who love and care about me In 2010 I decided to make a change. I started to attend church regularly. My life started to take positive turn around. I slowly learned how to live a responsible life. People around me started to see and admire the wonderful change in my behaviour. At church I served in various leadership positions. I was on the church board as a deacon. I spent time as a youth leader, home cell leader and business development leader. I was also asked to consider becoming a Pastor by the church’s senior Pastor but decided to not go in that direction. In 2014 I resigned from my Customer Service job at the Cell C call centre because I wanted to start my own business. I went to Mozambique for 3 weeks because I was invited to speak at a church in Maputo. When I got back to South Africa I spent time praying, evaluating my life experiences and researching for opportunities to share what I have learned. In September 2014 I registered my Public Speaking business. A few months later, I received intensive business training from Shanduka Black Umbrellas, the International Award Winning Business Incubator. I have developed a programme for people that is called Be The Best Version of YOU! My passion is help people tap into their inner strength, creativity, genius and ultimately perform at their peak.

I must have been around 12 years old when my parents took me abroad for the first time. I can still feel that palpable sense of wonder and surprise at being in a different country. The very idea was beguiling! Now, over 30 years later, having been to well over 60 countries and having lived in 7 of them, travel remains one of the most important things in my life. My passion is helping others to discover the astonishing stories other places can tell us and how our experiences on the road shape us and help us find out who we are. Travel, I like to say, is one of the finest investments you can make in yourself. I now live in Berlin and work as both a travel coach and speaker as well as running a bespoke travel agency. I have written two books on history and travel as well.
