CURRENT MISSION

My work in Bonn is now over, my travels around Europe have just began!

ABOUT ME

I studied in Melbourne including a semester exchange in Berlin before settling as a freelance radio and online journalist in Sydney. I'm now about to start my next chapter in Bonn as a radio producer for Germany's international braodcaster Deutsche Welle.

I try to balance my time in front of a computer or in the dark of an editing suite with time on my bike, in the ocean or on the hiking trails of Sydney's Blue Mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't do unto others as you wish they do unto you - they may not like it."
- George Bernard Shaw

"Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the human race."
- H.G Wells
