Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Europe in June/July 2013
ABOUT ME
Half Aussie, half Swedish. Living around Freo.
I was born in Cairns and brought up on a boat as my parents were cruising around the world, then we moved to northern Sweden to a place called Arjeplog and now I'm in Australia again.
PHILOSOPHY
Discover new things and try and step out of your comfort zone. Experiencing new cultures and ways of life helps me try make sense of the world, and enjoy it more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
First time I watched an Icehockey match in Lulea.
I was sailing in Greece with my parents when they won the Euro's in 2004, they were letting off dynamite in the harbour. Just seeing how it brought a whole country together was inspiring to watch.
Once I went swimming with a curious seal at Carnac island and got it on film, the interaction between nature is always a amazing feeling.
