About

On a journey to understand and unlock real learning. Always happy to jump on a conversation around role of education and a teacher. I believe being a true learner implies studying life, not just reading a few books or passing exams, required by your curriculum; it implies the capacity to observe everything throughout our journey and just a few things at a particular period (during school). Solution is in the problem -not separate from the problem. If at a basic level we don't see all humans as equal, we can never create an education eco-system that is equal. Our systems will be driven by bias and survival of the fittest (or in this case, ones with the easiest access). If you would like to chat around how we can create a holistic learning environment - I am all ears. I am driven (when not being chased by a 5 year old) by two things in life: "how do we learn purposefully through travel and experiences" and the hunt for the best coffee/barista around the world. I do not believe I ever learned anything worthwhile in a classroom environment but have grown immensely in knowledge, wisdom and cultural intelligence through the 45+ countries I have found myself in.
