Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am in my 20s, from the UK, and currently living in Melbourne. I am a strong environmental advocate and I am looking for opportunities to get out of the city and enjoy some time in nature and among wildlife. I adamantly believe that our disconnection to nature is a pinnacle factor in rising mental health problems and climate change. I want to give myself the chance to reconnect to my roots and live away from the fast-paced, workaholic nature of modern society.

What else ...

The two pillars in my life are music and environmentalism, and I try to incorporate both of them into my days. I play drums and I am learning piano, and I love to listen to new music from a range of different genres. I am very eco-conscious, and I am actively looking for opportunities that will continue to nurture this side of me. I am vegetarian and have greatly reduced my consumption of dairy products (my shopping list is vegan and I only consume dairy when there is little choice at a restuarant or takeaway). I write articles for Earth.org, an environmental organisation, and I produce interviews for the Climate Action Show on 3CR Radio. I have a focus on rewilding, and I believe one of the most important factors in mitigating climate change is to inspire people to rekindle their connections to nature. I have ideas to start/be part of movements to rewild urban spaces so species can co-exist peacefully. I love interactive activities and I am a big fan of board games.
