ABOUT ME

I'm a free spirited, tree-loving, ecstatically dancing, laughter maker from Australia who loves travelling, laughing, sharing, meeting new people, seeing amazing things... and generally just loves life.

I'm open-minded, and believe that the best way to enrich my life is through learning.. learning about people, culture, history, everything.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe life is comprised of a series of perfect moments. I've had some interesting moments too:
- Helping a friend film a pilot for a documentary on Indigenous Medicines in Ecuador, we interviewed a shaman who then performed a diagnosis on a patient by turning a live guinea-pig inside out.
- Hitchhiking with truck drivers in Argentina and Chile.
- Living in an isolated community in the Amazon for 3 months, no electricity or running water.
- Nearly falling into lava on top of a volcano
- Attempting to hug old growth Redwood trees and making it about 1/8 of the way around those enormous trunks
- Performing a cumbia dance on stage in Iquitos, Peru, dressed as an eco-pirate to raise awareness of environmental issues. Writing a children's book with a group of children in Iquitos, also to teach of environmental issues.
- and all the incredible connections and experiences l've had through meeting the many interesting individuals who l'm so lucky to have shared time with.
