I'm Coming to tassie to explore the nature but mainly to research off grid sustainable living.
I studied design at university while working as a nursery hand growing native New Zealand plants.
I’ve had a passion for gardening since very young and have worked as a landscaper for over 20 yrs.
I’ve also learnt to chef when I lived in Amsterdam and it has served me well as a form of employment while traveling, (every one needs to eat!)

I left Dunedin ( the town where my folks live) about 12 yrs ago, doing seasonal work around New Zealand before heading to Europe for a couple of years. My friend lent me his house truck for a year and I travel nz and did more woofing and seasonal work before traveling Australia. I by chance visited Fremantle, and fell in love with the place. Have been based from Fremantle for 8 years. I still love freo but Tasmania is calling to me.
