CURRENT MISSION

Travel around Australia learning ways to build on and manage land -sustainably and with maximum self sufficiency.

ABOUT ME

Aussie with a Dutch mother. Grew up for a while in London. So I've always had an interest in cultures and different ways of life.
That developed into a love of geography and the environment after an exchange in North Carolina, USA and some work that took me to Canada and Scotland.
My lifestyle is focused on a foundation of reducing my carbon footprint and unnecessary stress. More time spent outdoors, less work, and living comfortablely off a low income.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is on the inside...?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

La tomatina has to be the weirdest experience I've had. Thousands of people crammed in a street that have to squeeze up against houses to allow room for trucks full of tomatoes to pass through the street. Then starts the biggest, reddist food fight you'll ever experience.
