About Me

Hello Surfers,
I'm looking to enhance my travel experiences by meeting cool people like you along the way!

I would describe myself as a quiet and creative person who enjoys the simple things in life - good food and good company. I've grown up in a surfing family on Sydney's Northern Beaches (think Manly) and love the outdoors.

After going to completing University (Visual Communication) I began working in the Web design and development industry. The combination of design & technology really interests me. You can see some of my design and development work on my portfolio website: http://makercreative.com.au

I've spent the last 5 years 'doofing' (outdoor camping parties) around Australia and have been involved in event design and installations, mostly 3D projection mapping (pretty lights!). If you're interested, have a look at my projection & installation company Light Through Smoke: http://lightthroughsmoke.com

Whenever I visit a new place in the world I like to find it's creative hub, and eat/drink where the locals do. I find that's the best way to get a feeling for the local culture and much better than staying at a hostel with 100s of other tourists!

My place in Sydney is a unique beach house with views of the Ocean. A very chilled place to be in the busy city of Sydney. I hope I can host you when you're here and maybe one day you can return the favour :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to Sulawesi Indonesia for the Total Solar Eclipse 2016! Witnessing the cosmic moment with travellers from all over the world as well as local villagers was a very special experience.

I'll be chasing Eclipse's around the world from now on!
