CURRENT MISSION

Building an organic sustainable food forest

ABOUT ME

I spent a year of my life living in a tree house and that had a fairly profound effect on me. I am endlessly fascinated by nature, from the tiniest insect to the largest tree. I live and work in the amazing Blue Mountains, surrounded by National Park. There is a great community of people here and whenever I go travelling I realise how lucky I am to live here!

PHILOSOPHY

To tread lightly on this earth

Algo increíble que he hecho

Interactions with animals are often the most memorable things that happen to me. I've been licked by a Goanna (giant lizard), kissed by a butterfly, sniffed by a badger, pecked by a cockatoo (and an Emu!),bitten by a Brush tailed Possum, wrestled with many venomous snakes (thank you Australia!)and frequently been eaten alive by Mosquitos.
Hitch hiked around Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia
Lived in a tree house for a year
Stuck my head in the crater of an active volcano in Guatemala
Rode a horse through the mountains of Mongolia
Chased a wild turkey with a machete in New Zealand
Froze my ass off camping on the highest mountain in Morocco
Teaching bike mechanics in Namibia
Stroked a wild cheetah in Africa (they purr.....!)
Yeah ok I know it said ONE thing........
