We’re a bunch of hard-core adventure enthusiasts. We’ve travelled extensively and love exploring new frontiers. We’ve made a living out of doing what we love. Our passion is our work, and we’re stoked to be where we’re at. If you want the inside scoop on emulating our lifestyle, you’ve come to the right place indeed…
Living in Byron Bay and Asia we’re dynamic figures, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. We can do handstands on our surf boards, at Byron Bay Pass, dodging sharks, for over 100 feet so far, we have been known to remodel train stations on our lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. We write award-winning things, we manage time efficiently. Occasionally, we tread water for three days in a row and also breed prizewinning abalones.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of beer, we once single-handedly defended a small village in Borneo from a horde of ferocious army ants. We also play the didgeridoo, we were scouted by the UN, we are the subject of numerous nature documentaries. When we’re bored, we build large suspension bridges in our backyard. We enjoy urban hang gliding up to 40,000 feet where it’s -50C and I black out.
