What are you happiest doing, when you’re not working?
When I’m not working, I love exploring Australia and going hiking, especially in regional Victoria. The Alpine Region and Port Fairy are personal favourites where I’ll happily revisit regularly whilst my regular haunts are the Dandenong and Yarra Ranges. My bucket list for walks is constantly expanding with recommendations too - and currently I would have to spend about 8 weeks in Tasmania alone just to cover off everything I want to do there and I've not even started properly considering South Australia!
