CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hey I'm an easy going very down to earth, nature loving individual. I am passionate about the environment and self sustainability. Living on 300 acres of bush in South Australia, I live an alternate lifestyle off the grid so to speak. I try to follow permaculture principles to limit my impact on the planet. I have built my house using a solar passive concepts and recycled materials. My house runs off solar power and requires very little external energy. I have an extensive vegetable patch, which provides me with plenty of fresh produce. My property is home to an extensive range of native wildlife, of which the southern hairy nose wombat is the most prolific. These marsupials are only located in small pockets of Australia and my place is covered with their burrows. There are also plenty of kangaroos, lizards, birds and thankfully not too many snakes.

I love my lifestyle, where I live and the journey that has brought me here. I am an individual and proud of it. I am a lover not a fighter and accept everyone for who they are.

I am currently looking to take a different tangent and am moving to Hanoi, Vietnam, to teach English
