02 PASSION
INTERESTS & HOBBIES
I’ve skydived, bungee-jumped, solo hang-glided, run three marathons, and completed the Oxfam 100km. I thrive on experiences, creativity and building things – from pulling apart code, graphic design and making films with friends, to pulling apart cars and completely re-building my 1967 Ford Anglia.
I’m obsessed with exploring our planet, and have traveled to 40+ countries, with many more to go. I will travel anywhere and try anything once and this helps keep life interesting and unpredictable! Recently, my partner Brigid and I drove a VW Camper throughout Europe. Checkout our Koasting blog and Instagram feed for a snapshot of our adventures.
