CURRENT MISSION

~To surf uncertainty and look back only in reflection~

ABOUT ME

Only a trickle of Australians cross 'the ditch' to New Zealand. Sure, Aussie tourists cruise the picturesque coastline or hire a campervan to drive through and soak up the breathtaking mountain ranges, but few make NZ home. Early in 2012, I joined the ranks of the few to study Ecology at the University of Otago, Dunedin.

And I love it here!

I like being close to the outdoors. Hiking/tramping trips are one of my favourite things to do. I also enjoy running out of the suburbs into the hills near Dunedin in any weather!

PHILOSOPHY

I often remind myself to prioritise process over product. I think this is a distilled version of 'the journey is more important that the destination'.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once solo hiked for twenty-four hours straight to glimpse the midnight sun in Norway. I've never felt more independent.
