A little about me:

In the search for sunshine and the sea, I traded Salisbury for Byron Bay. After meeting one of my best friends while travelling Vietnam (Reuben), I followed him to Australia, and 2 years later my life is here now. I love a morning surf, and being able to do this right next to the office is quite special. I’ve fully left England behind!

My hobbies are:

I regularly go fishing with the boys, followed by surfing. I'm also an avid artist from University, a hobby which I can travel with. When I'm not sketching, I'm playing my guitar.

I also love my cars, I can’t help but continuously look for the next one to trade up to. I’m also an expert on Campervans and Motorhomes, so I have all your vehicle needs covered!

Favourite spot in Australia:

It has to be Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mountain. I had an unreal time climbing here with my mates. It’s roughly a 5 hour climb, and the views are insane. Add it to your road trip activity list!

Backpacking tips:

Always be true to yourself, don't change for anyone. That’s what led me to being where I am today! ALSO packing cubes. These are one of the best ways to keep your gear organized when you’re moving around. Instead of digging through your entire bag to find one item, you can quickly grab the cube you need, making packing and unpacking much more efficient.
