One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Braved Sydney's winter to procure my diving license, flew straight to Great Barrier Reef to dive. Possibly one of the most unforgettable experiences I had. Not a tinge of regret.

Biked from Seminyak- Ubud - Uluwatu (Indonesia Bali) with baggage tied to a motorbike. Locals confirmed that my friend and I were on the brink of insanity.
