Introduction

G'day!
I'm originally from Sydney (Aus), but have spent the majority of my adult life travelling and working abroad in tourism (rafting, caving, canyoning guide). Learnt sailing basics last European summer on single mast monohull with my American partner Winnie. She is with me here in Australia and we're hoping to continue our sailing practice around Australia in either direction this summer.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I've worked in tourism for much of the past 5 years, with jobs ranging from whitewater rafting (British Columbia), caving (Waitomo, NZ) and canyoning (Queenstown, NZ) guiding, as well as tour leading in SE Asia and Europe with a travel company named Busabout.
I thoroughly enjoy outdoor pursuits (trekking, climbing, rafting, canyoning). Currently work as the lodge manager at Broome's YHA hostel.
Over the years I've acquired varied swiftwater rescue, first aid and CPR certificates, as well as my Advanced PADI.
I enjoy having a few casual drinks, reading, playing a little guitar, as well as conversing with worldly people. I really want to give kiteboarding a go!
