Description

Hello! I’m an Australian traveller who’s hardworking, motivated, and passionate about exploring the world, meeting new people, and immersing myself in different cultures. After several years in the corporate sector following my undergraduate degree, I decided to take time to experience life in a more meaningful and hands-on way — learning from others, contributing where I can, and growing personally along the journey.

I’ve volunteered in Zanzibar, Tanzania (2019) teaching within the local community, and in Himachal Pradesh, India (2025) teaching young monks in monastery schools. Both experiences were incredibly rewarding and deepened my love for cultural exchange and community work.

I enjoy working hard and taking on new challenges. I love the outdoors — hiking, exploring nature, and spending time with animals, especially horses, which I’ve always had a strong passion for. One of my proudest achievements was hiking Mount Kilimanjaro during my time in Africa in 2019, an experience that taught me resilience and perseverance.

Travel, for me, is all about connection — with people, places, and purpose. I’m excited to continue this journey, learn new skills, and make meaningful contributions wherever I go.

I look forward to hopefully working with you and becoming part of your project or community! 🌍🫶

More details about your skills

I’ve been fortunate to travel to nearly 40 countries, and those experiences have really shaped how I see the world. Experiencing so many different cultures has given me confidence, adaptability, and a readiness to take on new and sometimes challenging tasks.

I’ve volunteered as a teacher in both Africa and India, and as a wildlife assistant in Ecuador. These roles taught me patience, flexibility, and how to work well with people (and animals) from a wide range of backgrounds.

Back home in Australia, I have multiple years of corporate experience as well as over five years of practical experience doing manual labour — including gardening, lawn care, and general DIY maintenance. I enjoy hands-on work and take pride in getting things done properly.

I grew up in rural Sydney surrounded by animals and the outdoors, which has given me a real passion for caring for them and spending time in nature. I’m very excited to be able to gain further skills in this area.

Overall, I bring a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and genuine enthusiasm for learning new skills and contributing to all opportunities that cross my path.

What else ...

Besides my love for the outdoors and all animals, I’m also a passionate musician. I’ve been playing the French horn and trumpet since I was seven years old, and music has been one of my longest-standing interests. I really enjoy sharing it with others who have the same passion — whether that’s playing together, listening, or just talking about music from around the world.

I’m also a big fan of sport and staying active. I play baseball and enjoy learning new sports wherever I travel — it’s a great way to connect with people and have some fun. Cooking is another hobby I’ve grown to love, especially experimenting with different cuisines I’ve discovered on my travels.

When I’m not outdoors or working on a project, I’m always up for a good board/card game or a relaxed evening sharing stories and laughs.

Overall, I love trying new things, meeting new people, and learning from every experience. I’m open-minded, easygoing, and always ready to give something a go.
