About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live everyday to its fullest and regret nothing

ABOUT ME

I'm very passionate about art, food, music, animals, nature and travel. I've been a vegetarian since I was 5, because that was the age I realised I couldn't eat my friends. I try to live and consume consciously. I'm studying towards a Fine Art degree, and see myself as a community artist/visual activist.

PHILOSOPHY
A positive attitude can be the answer to anything

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've snorkeled a meter away from a stingray; jumped off a rocky cliff into the ocean in what's called the "Hole in the Wall"; slept under the stars in a 9 meter high treehouse; cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge; Skydived; touched a koala and hand-fed kangaroos; temporarily looked after two baby monkeys; abseiled down a 60 meter rocky outcrop
