- I left Australian in November 2014. I'll continue travelling until I no longer appreciate it or I miss my family or I fulfil all my dreams :)

- I grew up on a farm in the Hunter Valley (wine region) in NSW, Australia.

- I'm a personal trainer

- I've been travelling the world since November 2014. So far I visited Cambodia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Turkey, Bulgaria, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France in that order. I am continuing onto Italy, then Central and South America to Volunteer on the medical board for the Summer Olympic Games 2016 in Brazil. After this I'll make my way to America and further North.

- I travel by hitch hiking, buses, trains, boats

- Sometimes I find myself sleeping in strange places... couches, sea ports, train stations, road side, under houses

- Food and Fitness is a passion. I'm going to Naples simply to learn pizza making

- I am a rock climber

- I believe with all my heart in sustainability and that out environment provides for us

- I've worked and lived the ski season in Japan and Chamonix as cleaner and cook

- I love pizza, anime and reading

- I carry kefir with me everywhere (to make my own fermented milk / yogurt)

- I have a passion for fermented foods and usually have a pots of kimchi, sourdough (natural yeast), sprouted and fermented beans and birch muesli bubbling away next to me once I'm in one place for long enough

Personal interests while travelling:

- Helping communities in need

- Eco and organic farms

- To Volunteer at Summer Olympics 2016

- To learn the harmonica

- To improve my Spanish and French

- To express myself artistically through photography and writing

Ideals:
