About
Hi i am an Australian who has been living tokyo for 3 years after a 10 year stint in europe and various stop off points in Asia. I am currently planning a climate change awareness program with my partner, with the aim of riding our bikes all over the himalayas highlighting the effects of climate change, how it is effecting the local inhabitants, identifying the markers for future change that will affect us all and producing a media and web based project that will reach people worldwide. The cycle for change project is gaining serious momentum and is becoming an all consuming obsession, but it keeps us off the streets and gives us a major reason to get up in the morning. Trying to be part of the solution while getting away from being part of the problem is the most exhilarating thing i have ever done and will become the start of what i hope is a life long project to contribute in an ever so small way to help sort out the problems we have create for ourselves.
