ABOUT ME

I was born in Perth, but then Melbourne became my home for about 8 years, then I moved to live in the USA it's this new thing it's lasted 4 years now it's pretty wild.

I work as a union organizer 11 days every two weeks (if you're staying when I'm working, I work from home so pls don't be offended if I hang out with you sometimes and have to shut myself away some times). For the other 3 days each fortnight I'm actually a pond.

I enjoy strong black coffee, Eastern food, and yarns.

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In July 2009, I rode a horse through the mountains of Bulgaria. It was radical.
