About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventure Science. To get to remote places and learn about them.

ABOUT ME

I have been studying ecology in northern queensland with the aim of playing adventure scientist for a while. :) I love getting out into nature and understanding what is going on. I have been moving around a bit over the past few years, Participating in community where I go. I have been enjoying riding my bike, playing with friends, sailing and swimming a lot lately. I have been living on an urban permaculture property with great friends and have definately been enjoying my life. I will be studying ecology in Quito and the Galapagos islands this second half of the year and then I'm off to Tasmania to finish my degree by looking and alpine lake and temperate marine ecology.

PHILOSOPHY

Timing is a key ingredient in outcomes, so is attitude.
