My journey around the world began immediately after finishing school in England— with a camera in hand and a heart full of curiosity.
I'm a passionate scuba diver, snowboarder, surfer, climber, paraglider, downhill biker, and sailor.
There’s nothing I love more than discovering new countries, cultures, and sports.
With my camera as my constant companion, I capture the magic of these moments and share them with you.
Every single day holds the potential to become the greatest adventure and the most unforgettable experience.

My journey began in Guatemala.
From there, I spent time living and working on a horse ranch in Mexico, before joining a dive school in Playa del Carmen.
Always chasing new adventures, I volunteered as a research diver on a remote island in Belize — a truly unforgettable experience.
Later, I found myself on a permaculture farm in Australia, where I learned the art of self-sufficiency and slow living. My path then took me through Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, and Bhutan — a deeply inspiring chapter of my travels.
Driven by curiosity, I enrolled in a distance course to become a certified life coach based in Berlin, while also teaching skiing at a ski school in Arlberg, Austria.
But soon, I began missing the ocean — and returned to Mexico to work as a dive instructor once again.
Eventually, the mountains called me back. I returned to Austria to reconnect with my love for winter sports.
Today, my home base is my trusty T4 camper van, which carries me across Europe in search of new experiences, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable sports events.
Along the way, I’ve built strong relationships with leading action sports brands, helping tell authentic stories through photography, content creation, and social media.
At the same time, I collaborate with interior designers and lifestyle brands to create beautiful, luxury home living spaces that inspire and reflect the unique personalities of their clients.
My most recent trips took me to Costa Rica and Israel by plane — and by van through Normandy, Brittany (France), Elba (Italy), and the stunning fjords of Norway.
