CURRENT MISSION

Experience as many cultures as possible.

ABOUT ME

Once upon a time:
I worked as a Radiographer in Melbourne, with random shift work. Spent a lot of time after hours catching up with friends in the numerous bars and lounges that Melbourne has on offer. Lived at home with my parents, brother and sister. And ate Vegan Delicacies.

I studied Medicine in Freo, and lived and worked there for 7 years, with a brief stint up in Broome.

Now I'm based in Albs.

Love Longboarding, Snowboarding during winter, Cycling, Reading, Watching Films, and trying new alcoholic beverages.

Up for a coffee, I would love to explore my new town,
a visit to any vegan dinning locations, a walk aimlessly around the city, a bike ride, a movie or just a great old picnic in the park. Almost any other excellent activities you can think of...

PHILOSOPHY

Vegan - Agnostic

Experience as much as possible in the short time we have.
Live humanely and respect opinions of others.
Have impact upon other peoples lives.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love the mountains. Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal was amazing. But I also love the sea. The most amazing place I have been is in New Zealand, on the South Island. A little town called Rapaiki Bay just out of Chirstchurch. Where the Mountains meet the sea, thats where I want to be!

The Kimberley holds amazing and uncharted adventures, one year was not near enough.
