I have been a traveller since I was 17, opting to travel the world over university. After 10 years and 20+ countries, I "settled down" to complete my BSc in New Zealand and my MSc in Sweden/Iceland. For the last 3 years I have been working in Alaska as a Mine Geologist, poking around in tunnels looking for gold.

After my completion of the CT in 2025, I fell in love with thru-hiking and decided to go all out for 2026 and complete the ADT. 

I am completing this walk as a charity event to raise money for a variety of Immigration, Environmental, and Native American-based organisations. A portion of the proceeds will also go to supporting the ADT Society and fund my walk.
