About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Rocking the Gili T reefs
ABOUT ME
Started a project called SeaMade to combat the harmful effects of marine debris on the small island of Gili T. We upcycle rubbish we find on the beach and create awareness of the rubbish problems encountered on the island and hold weekly beach clean ups.
Working full time for the Gili Eco Trust on Gili Trawangan, Indonesia. Upcycling glass in different projects, on the dump collecting recyclable materials, restoring the reefs with Biorock technology, teaching people about coral ecology, teaching kids in the local schools about the environment and plenty more! Even though I can't host any more we are always looking for volunteers to help with these projects!

PHILOSOPHY
Make a difference (even if it is just a little one)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My best friend and I travelled overland from London to Malaysia by train, couchsurfing along the way. Possibly.. no definately the best experience of my life! Met some amazing people that were so kind to us, showing us local culture, amazing food and parties

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Turtle diving and conservation programme on Perhentian islands, Malaysia, night patrols recording turtle nesting and laying habits. Sleeping in hammocks on the beach and releasing baby turtles to the sea in 2007
Teach, Learn, Share
I love the ocean and love sharing all I know and learning more all the time. I have started programmes of Eco Diving at my dive shop so we can all give something back to the ocean :) Come along for a chat about our reef restoration projects, or conservation and volunteering in SeaMade's Debris Free Friday beach clean ups
