Mr+Davidson

My name is John Davidson. I grew up in Feiliding with my parents and two younger brothers and sister. I attended St Joseph's School in Feilding throughout my primary school years then travelled over to Palmerston North to St Peter's College from 1996-2000.

After high school, I went to the Sir Edmond Hilary Outdoor Pursuits Centre and took a year course. I gained a certificate in Outdoor Recreation (assistant leadership) during my time there. I gained many skills in kayaking, moutaineering, rockclimbing and many more outdoor activities.

In 2002, I decided to take a trip to America and work at a summer camp for 2 months. I had a great time while I was there and made many new friends all around the world. After camp, I travelled around America seeing such sites as the Empire State building, Mt Rushmore, the statue of Liberty, The Liberty bell, and many more amazing places. I even got to go to Disneyland which had been a childhood dream of mine.

When I got back from the U.S.A, I worked at McDonalds for about 4 months before I decided to go and study at Massey University to become a teacher.
