About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've returned to Perth, Western Australia after a year in Estonia :)

ABOUT ME

I'm 28 years old, interested in surfing and travelling, especially that combination, but not necessarily in that order.

I am really interested in cycling here in Europe; so definitely contact me if you're on a cycling trip!

I like south-east asia for good fun and cheap backpacking, especially since it is close for us in Australia.

I've lived in Copenhagen, Denmark and now since 2018 August currently living in Tartu, southern Estonia.

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walked by an English language lesson in a sleepy border fishing village in Cambodia by chance and got to guest teach.

allowed Marco to make us hike to the top of a mountain in the Dolimiti on the old border of Italy/Austria in waist deep snow to snowboard back down. was amazed by it even though Marco bossed it with no snow shoes! (filthy snow shoes).

defied death by surviving an Indonesian death ferry in the middle of the Bali-Lombok strait caught in the swell and wind from a cyclone off Western Australia no problems.

defied death v2.0 by being too slow to drive our rental car under a pine tree in the Victorian Alpine region which fell right over our intended parking spot about 10 seconds before we reached that spot due to some insane wind storm.

fell in the Venice canals. two times. sober...
