CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I wish to see in the world. (Cheers Ghandi)

ABOUT ME

Planning on seeing every part of this world, and meeting at least half the people on it. Chronic addiction to tea and dreaming up 'what would happen if..' scenarios.

I love partying, our beautiful planet, wine, my job, making everyday magical, sloths, the family farm, indepth conversations, beer, music, learning, organic food, dancing till my legs ache, the coast, making friends with strangers, bushwalking, cheese, children, laughing, imagining, camping, music festivals, vego food, sustainable living, animals and finding beauty in the small things.

PHILOSOPHY

As I always tell my students, in the words of a wise man called Dr Suess, 'Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not'.

'When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.' -Wayne Dyer

'If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough' anon.

'If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito' -Dalai Lama

'I wish I had a sadness shield that blocked out all the sadness.' -WTWTA

'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter' - MLK Jr.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm lucky enough to have worked with refugees from all corners of the globe. They are amongst the most amazing, lovable and inspirational people I will ever meet. Every day I am thankful that I am given the opportunity to be a part of their lives♥

Oh plus parahawking (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDG9jXvXhyQ) and flying a plane over the Annapurna ranges were both pretty great :)
