About Me
A scribbler of notes, a taker of photographs, a lover of food and a beginner at yoga, I left my job and Australia to travel around the world.
After five years studying for two degrees, working in marketing and constantly saving as much money as possible, I left Sydney in May 2010 to travel round the world indefinitely.
That trip spanned almost 18 months and 28 countries. It took me from 423m below sea level to 5,700m above where I’ve ridden donkeys, hiked in thin air, studied yoga and Spanish and eaten things I probably shouldn’t have.
I began my trip around the world in the USA before heading briefly across Europe. I spent the summer of 2010 in the Middle East right before the region erupted (again).
Arriving in Hong Kong on a midnight flight from Jordan, I spent the next several months exploring the continent I hold dearest to my heart, Asia. My travels took me through China; in a Russian minivan in Mongolia; the wilds and high passes of western Tibet; Nepal; crazy, chaotic and colourful India and finally, to Southeast Asia. After a brief break with friends and family in Sydney, I have spent most of 2011 travelling south through Latin America.
I was bitten by 1 donkey and 1 dog and received 1 headbutt from a cow, visited 3 hospitals in 3 countries and took countless photographs.
You can find more of my travel writing in The Sydney Morning Herald and Backpacker Essentials magazine.
