Family: The days of traveling the Australian wilderness with the Family are the times in my life that I cherish the most. Raised in the small town of Monbulk in the Dandenongs, which was our base for many journeys into the Rivers and Coast of South Gippsland. It was Mum who introduced the family to skiing in 85. Nice one Mum! Parents are retired now. I also have many friends that make up my family.
Favorite outdoor pursuits:
Surfing around Australia, with some camping on the beach; crispy fish on the fire, baked spuds mmmmm! Back-country Telemarking is the pursuit I also enjoy the most. Fresh days and nights in the Alps, carving, laughing and exploring.
I'm into everything that involves traveling through the outdoors on a nifty craft. I am very keen to try hang gliding.
