Bio
A career break… Yes, that's what I'll call it!
I have always had wanderlust and this was possibly fueled by growing up in the multicultural surrounds of Melbourne. I would take a sandwich to school for lunch and trade it with my friends for spanakopita and baklava, amazed that a boring old sandwich could be traded for such exotic delights.
While studying at university, I took an internship in Tokyo and climbed Mt. Fuji for the first time. "A wise man climbs Mt. Fuji, a fool climbs it twice," say the Japanese, but I am neither a man nor a fool and climbed to the top 7 times during the 7 years I lived there.
From Tokyo to Toronto to London where I'm now based, I am searching for many of life's answers, and hoping to find them along a trail… somewhere…
So far in my quest to find the answers I have walked and written a daily blog about the Camino Frances (2013), Coast to Coast (UK-2013), Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage (Japan-2013), Thames Path (UK-2013), Camino Portuguese (2014), Hadrian's Wall (UK-2014), Cinque Terre (Italy-2014), Camino Primitivo (2014) and Camino Ingles (2014)…
My ever-growing list of walks I'd love to do includes the Via Francigena from Canterbury to Rome, the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, the Baekdudaegan Trail in South Korea, the Kokoda Trail in PNG etc… Let me know if you have a favourite walk I should attempt!
If you would like to contribute or make a donation in any way, shape or form to keep me on the trail and continue reading about my experiences with snakes, boars, centipedes, bed bugs, bears, and possible mountain lions… then please do get in touch!
