It's a pleasure, I will continue sharing the journey, What we plan to build here in southern Africa, is likely going to become one of the foremost Wilderness survival schools in the world in Time, we have extremely dedicated and passionate people that are very very good at what they do.

It's great to see someone achieve their dream. Sort of walk the talk. Congrats.You are doing what you so many people should be doing; setting your goals and doing what you need to achieve them. You should be very proud of yourself for your accomplishments. I hope you and your lady celebrated your achievement.

As an educator, I enjoy seeing people continue there education in whatever pathway and capacity they choose. The process of continually upgrading and redefining your goals, and then setting out to achieve them is truly how education works.

Congratulations on your hard work and achievement.

Alan

Thank you Alan :) Now its more of an opportunity to take a role as a mentor and trainer and help those learn and grow as I do also, but not really about me, but others that I take into wild places and ensure they get out something useful for themselves.
