About Me

I'm a 23 year old Australian firefighter studying psychology. Chilled as hell, and love to talk about travel, psychology and philosophy. I love to show people around and party with other travelers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking from the south of France over the Pyrenees and across Spain from east to west. It was amazing to pass through every different type of environment, every type of weather and to walk and talk with fellow travelers. People were really willing to talk about real things as we had hours to walk!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have much to teach in terms of psychology, behavior and functioning of the brain (but also much to learn).
I love to hear different perspectives on life, love, society and all the big things. Keen to learn whatever you are proficient or interested in.
Let's share stories.
