- Currently on a trip since early-2012 and should end around mid-2018 (unless I get tired).
- From Melbourne, Australia and London, England.
- I am a constant hitch hiker (land and sea) and couchsurfer also as they're both really great ways to meet people, learn about where I am and find out new things to see or do. Have hitched in around 80-90% of countries/territories I've visited.

- Crew on a tall ship sailing from Sydney to and around the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand
- Hiking in the Himalayas
- Hiking the Kokoda Trail/Trek/Track
- The ales, food, people, history, small towns and beauty of England (of course!)
- The food, people, beauty and culture of France (friendliest people in the world)
