CURRENT MISSION

To save the Kimberley region of Australia from industrialisation... and to go wherever the wind blows me for awhile :)

ABOUT ME

I spontaneously moved to Melbourne in January and found an amazing job working for the Wilderness Society. I'm now trekking off into the desert for some new experiences. I plan to join the blockade in the Kimberley in July to stop the baddies from building a giant gas hub in the middle of one of the world's most beautiful untouched wilderness areas.....

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply. As Doug Tompkins said:
"In response to people saying, 'You can't go back.' and I say, 'Well what happens when you get to the edge of the cliff. Do you take one step forward or do 180° turn and take one step forward? Which way you goin? Which is progress?' The solution to many of the world's problems maybe to turn around and to take a forward step. You can't just keep trying to make a flawed system work."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The scenery in the South Island of NZ has always left me breathless but I have yet to really explore many of the beautiful places in this world that my heart is aching to see. South America, the Arctic and Antarctic, India, Asia etc..... I'm off to the outback in Australia in the next few months which I'm sure will be absolutely amazing.
