Grand Canyon Track, Blue Mountains

One of my favourite tracks in the Blue Mountains! It’s a quick hike with amazing views, and the waterfalls are perfect for cooling off along the way.

Kids on bicycle by Ernest Zacharevic

I visited Malaysia in early 2024 and was impressed by its unique street art. "Kids on Bicycle" was my favorite, capturing the playful spirit of childhood and allowing viewers to relive carefree moments.

Attica

Dining at Attica was an experience like no other. They aim to "celebrate the incredible, unique ingredients found in this country". Little did I know this meant eating crocodile ribs and sun dried ants.

Melbourne, Australia

This photo was taken on my solo trip to Melbourne in 2023. I was captivated by the architecture with a blend of old and new. This was one of the many historic building standing alongside the modern skyscrapers in the CBD.

Poker Tournament

I had the honour of witnessing a royal flush. Thankfully I folded preflop.

Hong Kong

I travelled to Hong Kong late 2023. I loved the area with its blend of modern landscape and natural scenery. Unlike anything I'd see in Australia are the neon billboard which line the streets.

Satay Street, Lau Pa Sat

Lau Pa Sat is Singapore's most iconic hawker market and as the title suggests, there is a street dedicated to selling satay skewers.

Seven Mile Beach, Forster

Stargazing with friends on a camping trip.

Wings For Life World Run

One of my proudest moments was running a half-marathon for spinal cord research, a cause close to my heart due to my own spinal injury.

New Years Fireworks in Paris

Watching the New Year's fireworks abroad was amazing, but nothing beats the fireworks in my hometown, Sydney.

Dining & Co

Sometimes the best foods are just around the corner. Me eating my favourite cajun chicken burger

I want Pau by WK Setor

Another one of my favourite murals in Penang. I love how the photo turned out with the sunlight illuminating the boys smile.
