Now

This is my now page where I share what I’m currently focused on at this point in my life, inspired by Derek Sivers.

Updated on the 23rd January 2024 from my home office in Cape Town.

Self-Made JS

Self-Taught JS

In 2024, I’m spending time learning JavaScript deeply. I’ve written a lot of JavaScript and especially jQuery code, but never really understood the language fully. I’ve also done a bit of React, but never learnt the framework properly. As part of my JS journey, I’m sharing what I learn on Self-Taught JS.

Bushstory / YouTube

I share my passion for wildlife, photography and conservation on my YouTube channel and website Bushstory, where I film various 4×4 overland trips as I travel around Africa visiting some of the wildest nature reserves and sharing the stories along the way.

I’ve starting the planning my first short film/documentary which will be released on my channel. I’m going through the Art Of Documentary course to help me become a better film maker.

Wildlife Photography

One of my many passions in life is wildlife photography. It combines my desire to create art and be creative with my love for wild animals and places in Africa. I share most of my work on Instagram but I’m also currently creating 3 websites that share wildlife photography tips and information for some of my favourite locations to photograph wildlife in Africa.

4x4 Eco Trail Logo

4×4 Eco Trail

I love exploring Africa and I’d love to share that passion with others. I had an idea to create a once a year guided 4×4 trail that runs through multiple countries and through the very best nature reserves in Africa. To pull this off, there are a number of obstacles I need to climb over. The first is studying to become a qualified field guide. I’m currently exploring educational opportunities to make this happen.

Other Interests

Outside of the above, I’m also spending time these days trying to become a better golfer and fly-fishing the Western Cape.
