Things I am passionate about

Surfing
Surfing

After living on the northern beaches of Sydney, I have fallen in love with surfing.

Travel
Travel

Traveling has taught me about myself, the world, and that I have a lot more to learn.

Scuba diving

I got to hang out with this octopus on the bottom of the Great Barrier Reef.

The environment
The environment

From recycling to tree planting, beach clean-ups or reducing water waste, preserving and caring for our environment is something I care deeply about.

Stand up paddle boarding

So far I've caught some waves and done yoga while stand up paddle boarding.

Wine tasting

When traveling around the world, there's always time to stop and taste some delicious wine.

Yoga
Yoga

No matter what, I always feel better at the end of a yoga session.  This is why I practice as often as I can.

Hiking

This is the tallest waterfall in New Zealand, which I reached while hiking the Milford Sound.

Camping

There is nothing better than being outdoors!  Even if it does end up snowing on your camping trip in Canada...

Trying new things
Trying new things

Well this is really just anti-gravity yoga, but I like to call it Batman training.  Either way, I love to learn so I'm always trying new things.

Snowboarding

Whether it's the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, Japan or New Zealand, I love snowboarding and being in the mountains.

Wakeskating
Wakeskating

Wakeskating is like wakeboarding, except I'm not attached to the board.  This allows me to do tricks like the one you see here!

Wakesurfing
Wakesurfing

A never-ending wave!  Although I prefer the real ones, it's not a bad option when you're away from the ocean.

Rock climbing

I learned to climb in high school, and am always up for an outdoor (or indoor!) session.

Overlanding
Overlanding

I spent a month overlanding through Patagonia and was amazed by it's breathtaking beauty!

Canyoning

This might have been my coldest canyoning experience to date, but it was worth it!

Caving
Caving

I was introduced to caving in high school, and although I don't do it often, I enjoy heading underground when the opportunity presents itself!

Horseback riding
Horseback riding

I have loved everything to do with horses from a very young age, and hope one day I will be fortunate enough to have one of my own.

Kayaking
Kayaking

If I can't get IN the water (in this case it was too cold), I'm still up for any sport ON TOP of the water!  

Making new outdoor friends
Making new outdoor friends

I love the outdoors, but what I love even more is finding new friends who are as passionate about it as I am.  Then I have even more great people to do fun things with!
