CURRENT MISSION

If you take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive.

ABOUT ME

“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”
― Kurt Vonnegut

We’re a small family with a couple of young kids in Bendigo. Passionate about cycling and sustainability.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep on keeping on!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived a night in the mountains in Italy with just a damp towel as a blanket.

Here's a short blog I wrote about my cycling experiences through China:

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make some ace vegetarian food in a hurry. I can show you how to play a song or two on guitar. I'm more than happy to exchange languages with anybody.

At the moment I'm relearning the piano.

I'd like to learn to play the cello.
