About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To compete at the Australian Pole Championships

ABOUT ME

I'm a uni student, and a geek for science and critical thinking. But also I'm known as a crazy circus performer, who loves a challenge and is always training up for the next big trick.

PHILOSOPHY

An optimistic willingness and openness to people and experience. Scientific naturalism as a view of the world. Reasonable skepticism in assessing and comparing claims. And fun spirited following of the Flying Spagetti Monster. ARR ME HEARTIES!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only just learning to hang 10. Though technically my visit to Jordan centres around surfing a couch at the Wadi Rum Tourist Police Station for a couple of weeks. Good people and a great culture exchange.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping under the stars either side of the day we trekked up (Mt) Jebel Um Adami, looked out over the border to Saudi Arabia, (recorded a GPS trail for a guide book as we went) and found ourselves investigating the wildlife.

Trekking the Dolimites, with a historical battlefield tour. Looking at trenches on 50 degree slope at 3500 metres. (Then trying to take the expoloded shells we found out through Rome airport).
