"My home base is Sale in regional Victoria and I am enrolled as a distance student. I have been awarded a UMAP international exchange scholarship, and a Travel Grant scholarship and am being hosted by University of Windsor in Canada."

"I suppose you could say this is a personal development journey as a whole. I will be expanding my horizons through cultural, historical and wildlife experiences, I will do adventuring with tour groups, and I will also be looking at opportunities to increase my knowledge and standing in my chosen field of study wherever the opportunity may arise.

"I have an academic and personal interest in psychology and human performance, and I am a bit of a sports nut and adventure addict at times."
