About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To work for nature. To live a good life.

ABOUT ME

I gave up my home to go to the Peruvian Amazon, to do voluntary work with isolated tribes. I told my friends that I was going for one year. That one year has turned into an 8 year adventure, travelling to many countries, but always working for the rainforest and nature. I am now in Europe for six months, before returning to Australia, where I have spent much of the last 4 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Equality for all.
