I enjoy traveling but also organising things in Melbourne. I started Discover Melbourne in 2017 which hosts 4+ events per week, is a lot of fun and allows me to do cool stuff. I'm passionate about giving people the opportunity to be part of a community that adds value to their lives.

I am currently studying to improve myself as a consultant. I contribute steadily to my personal blog (burnside.blog), where I share my thoughts and feelings about things. One day I hope to become location independent so I can travel through Europe and North America. I really want to visit Prague and rent a campervan to explore the Glacial lakes in Canada.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I drove all the way around Australia, it took 6 weeks.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't make the mistake of thinking all advice will work for you. Sometimes only some peoples' advice will resonate with you. Spend time with people who you generally like and do what you genuinely like, and then giving to and liking people won't be an effort; it will just a natural consequence of expressing yourself. I always try to do things like this in a way that doesn't require a lot of force.

I can help you with writing, marketing or technology. I can make you laugh and appreciate new things.
