Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Race 2017
I competed in my first long distance kiteboarding race! The 19km race began on Rottnest Island and ended in Leighton, Perth, Western Australia. The race was fun but extremely challenging as the winds were light (10-15kts) and the largest kite I had with me was a 10 meter. It was a slow go for me […]
GBF: How I missed my flight with a 3 hour layover
THE GOOD I emerged from my meditation retreat feeling relaxed, calm, and focused. Before I began the retreat I had no idea where my skirt would take me next.

I knew I looked quite goofy out at sea, but felt reassured knowing that my instructor could still communicate with me from shore. […]

Crayfish Fun Day!
I had been saying for a while I wanted to go out on a crayfish boat before I leave Lancelin. When I met Chris, GM of a crayfish exporting company, he said he could hook me up with one of the local fishermen who would be happy to take me and a few of my […]
