Writer, stand-up comic, strategist, blogger, traveller, all around live-on-the-edge creative soul. Totally up for anything; fearless whilst still being humble and astonishingly unaware of how awesome she is. She will push herself to the limits and jumps into every job, and madcap opportunity with gusto and conviction. She is an inspiration and a total rockstar who never lets a set-back set her back, but uses it as the impetus to do things differently; try something new or learn from the experience. She really is awesome. Read her blog if you don't believe me!

When Luisa was just 17 she ignored the 'advice' of many older and apparently wiser voices around her (including one teacher who told her she would end up being a dustbin lady) and said No to going to university. Instead, she decided to follow her passion for all things digital and social media. She's got an incredible blog, and she's already worked at some of the biggest names, impressing each with her tenacity and talent. If you need any further proof of how ahead of the game this girl is, just check out her most recent blog post on 20 things she learned in 20 years (https://www.luisaepps.com/home/2018/6/26/20-things-ive-learned-in-20-years) – I wish I'd been so wise at her age!
#81 Andrea Pawel
Andrea with Edward have set up a wildlife charity that aims to ecologically restore ex hunting/farmland in southern Namibia through wildlife conservation initiatives. Their conservation projects are driven through 4-week adventure conservation expeditions for anyone seeking a wilderness refuge. The programs are a mix of conservation (manual work and research), community development, adventure endeavours and ultimate relaxation. Oana Flora & Fauna provides the quintessential opportunity for anyone seeking to escape the grid and embark on an extraordinary journey as well as supporting and raising awareness about wildlife. Andrea has set up all visual communication for the Oana and heads the business development.
Go check out and book yourself on one of the 4 week adventures now.
