In 2015 one of my job titles was ‘tribebuilder’ at Tribewanted. We co-created a tiny eco-tourism community with the local clan of Gonubalabala in Papua New Guinea. It was a project which involved all of my favourite things in the world: travel, adventure, coaching, sustainability and community life.
…It’s my fourth anniversary of becoming a civilian.

However, the reality is that I’ve been preparing to take this leap for many years.
