I am home after an extended trip through Europe and wish to pay forward some of the kindness that I experienced from strangers.

In Australia I worked for three years as a bush regenerator. This is a profession that is dedicated to restoring natural ecosystems in the local area. The process will generally involve weed management and planting if required. Working with sites and watching them progress towards healthy ecosystems has been a fulfilling experience. The most amazing feeling was returning to see plants that I raised from seed having grown to taller than myself (see tree hugging photo).
