CURRENT MISSION

to keep exploring the world

ABOUT ME

I get pretty excited when it snows. I like overnight bus trips and being in the mountains. I love sunshine and cycling makes me smile. My favourite tree is Eucalyptus pauciflora, the snow gum. I can be fairly quiet until I get to know people, then I tend to get cheeky. I’m more of a listener than a talker. I try to be as green as possible and am going to work in the environmental field as soon as I decide what I want to do.

I finished uni at the end of 2010 (botany, environmental science, German and linguistics), worked in the mountains for 3 months (Falls Creek, population 100), then in an office in the city centre for 2 months (Melbourne, population lots), then came to Donaueschingen (population 21000) in Germany to do an internship with the municipal Environmental Office.

PHILOSOPHY

Success has a lot to do with staying on your feet.
