| Introduction | I am an Australian artist and engineer, passionate about travel, writing, and photography. I love discovering places that are off the beaten track and people who have the courage to think outside the square. While I grew up in Sri Lanka, I spent 9 years in California and a year teaching English in South Korea before migrating to Australia in 1998. I now share a home with my partner in Hornsby, a northern suburb of Sydney, where we wake up each day to the smells, sounds and sights of the Australian bush. I am inspired by the natural world and by the sense of freedom and adventure in the people I meet while travelling. I have always had a ‘spiritual’ connection to nature and prefer to travel ‘close to the ground’, in order to better connect with the local culture, people and the environment. Having reached Antarctica I have now fulfilled a life-long dream to spend time on every continent. I am now spending time exploring my creative passions and looking for linkages with my career pursuits in water. |
