HUCK columnist: Tim Conibear
Tim is a restless soul driven by a passion for people and places, an inborn skepticism of those in authority and an intrigue of the forces that bind us. A passionate surfer but disdainful of the stereotype he is never happy to shirk responsibility and is inquisitive of all that comes his way.
Idealistic, uncompromising and opinionated yet wondrous and whimsical in equal measure, he is a dreamer and follows his heart. Through his writing he hopes to inform and uncover, to inspire and encourage.
Currently residing in Cape Town, South Africa, Tim runs the Ticket to Ride Foundation, a small charity he established himself to offer township children a healthy distraction and maybe, just maybe, a way out.
