About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To really look at things, not just see.

ABOUT ME

I love travel because it's enriching and exciting.
Every day is a new day and every experience is different to the last.

When I am not traveling I am making artwork, researching, writing, reading, working, watching, socialising, hiking, festival-going, holiday-making, saving for a trip somewhere, hanging out with family and friends and dreaming about a variety of things.

PHILOSOPHY

MEET- CONNECT -RESPECT -SHARE -EXPERIENCE - LEARN - LOVE - REFLECT

Music, Movies, and Books

The last book I read that I couldn't put down was 'Words Will Break Cement' by Masha Gessen.
I am listening to a lot of different music.
The last film I saw and loved was 'The Square'.

My music, book and film interests are pretty diverse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying in Italy was incredible (2009).
Living in Seoul was amazing (2014).
Just waking up and seeing the sun catch the tops of the trees outside of my room in Australia is pretty spectacular too.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: art
LEARN: new approaches to looking and thinking about things
SHARE: experiences

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love for art and people through communicating ideas and creating friendships.
I can cook some 'aussie' dishes (don't get too excited, our food is just rip off's from around the world)
I can play cards
