Ross Paterson, Team Member

I am 25 years old, I live in Hamilton, New Zealand with my partner who is a limited edition 1986 model Bavarian midwife (only 1 ever made). I currently work at an outdoor clothing and equipment  company called Mountain Designs. Next year I plan to study a post graduate certificate in Sport and Leisure studies.

I enjoy writing music and playing the guitar. I just finished my first commissioned piece of artwork (woo hoo) and I am an avid fire staff practitioner.

I have worked overseas in Malaysia as an Outdoor Instructor, and have a PADI Divemaster certificate. One day I will establish an empowering and transformative retreat centre where people come to cultivate inner authority and develop a unifying consciousness with nature and each other.

This adventure to Tanzania is an opportunity of a lifetime. I look forward to contributing to a centre that makes a positive difference in the world and to spreading the love via my little green guitar. I can't wait to bring out the inner songbirds in my fellow GSE members and I know they can't wait for the choreographed dance moves I have in store for them.
