I grew up in Sydney, Australia in a family that never went camping or on outdoors adventures.
Therefore, it came as somewhat of a surprise to discover hiking and camping in my mid 20’s and it fast became somewhat of an obsession.
Since then, I’ve become a leader with the Sydney Bush Walkers Club and Search Manager with the Bushwalkers Wilderness Rescue Squad, an affiliate squad of the Volunteer Rescue Association.
The outdoors totally changed my life and I’m keen to share my knowledge and stories with others – hoping that they’ll catch the bug too! Apart from sharing tips here and on the YouTube channel, I am also a casual guide for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, encouraging young people aged 14-17 years old to fall in love with wild places.
When I’m not out in the bush, I can be found running a Production and Communications Consultancy company based in Sydney, shooting in remote and logistically tricky locations such as jungles, volcanoes and on the high seas.
You can also find me as a regular contributor for Great Walks and Travel Play Live Magazines, live on radio ABC702 and appearing as a speaker at events such as ProBlogger, ORIC Conference and SheWentWild.
