Characters

We are a crazy group of friends and travelling is what we love to do best. Between us we have been to over 30 countries. We have travelled by train through Europe, China, and the USA. We have been on ferries in Greece, Hong Kong and Canada. There were jeepneys in Philippines and tuk-tuks in India.We have been on busses in Peru, Vietnam and Germany. We have travelled by cable car in Switzerland, cargo ship in Chile and by foot in Namibia and Lesotho. We have never flown a chilli into a harbour before.

Our Captain - "The Matador"  (Clifford Beddy)
Clifford is a 30 year old male from Johannesburg. He has a degree in Psychology, but is starting a career making wedding videos. Cliff loves being different, but hates having his belly button touched - especially when its raining! Cliff has taught English in Taiwan, has farmed the British fields and has climbed Kilimanjaro - but at the moment can be found searching YouTube for weird and wonderful videos.

Co-Pilot - "The Banjo-playing Mexican" (Tim Johnson)
Tim is about to finish his Masters in Architecture. He studies in PE where students don't wear shoes to lectures. Tim has run Comrades three times, once dressed as a Superhero, and another time as a disco dancer. Tim has been to the Southern tip of South America and loves Bubble Tea from Taiwan. He hates cold spicy noodles so he is looking forward to pushing a chilli into the harbour.

Looks Great-In-Green - The Cactus (Zan Johnson)
Zan is a qualified scientist (the eco kind, not the evil kind), as well a qualified teacher. She has spent 2012 teaching Remedial Grade One, and is ready to do something crazy (like Redbull Flugtag.) Zan has sold ski passes in Vermont and trekked along the Great Wall of China - for at least 3 hours. Zan has read 52 books so far this year and naps whenever anyone will let her.

Watch that Temper - The Bull (Brad Johnson)
Brad is Tim's big brother and gets REALLY angry when people assume he is the youngest. He is also a qualified science-guy, but now makes jigsaw puzzles for a living. Seriously, he does. Brad loves balls - tennis balls, cricket balls, volleyballs and Mrs. Balls. Brad has taught English to English kids in England, where they called him "Bread." Brad has tech'd skis in USA and has been to the Eiffel Tower with Zan on Valentine's Day. (Aaaaah.)
