My name is Hamish and the outdoors has given me everything in life. Snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, cycling and running are the mainstay but love to try new things. After breaking my back and learning to walk again, life has been a journey of exploring and making. I' a creative person with a passion for photography and you'll often find me with my Leica.

Build new connections with likeminded people who love life. Experience the outdoors, share knowledge and collaborate on opportunities.

Interests

I love life and it's rich tapestry, I have my thoughts on politics and the environment but I don't push them on others. I like activities and generally trying things I've never done before. Reading, cooking food and trying out new flavours, just spending time with new people and understanding the difference in lifestyles
