Meet The Crew

To be added

I thrive on adventure and exploring the great outdoors. Africa is my favorite destination for camping, hiking, trekking and adrenaline rush. Every country comes with its own unique people, culture, cuisine and diverse landscapes. I have authored the book “Grid and Glory of Adventure racing” in 2024 depicting the stories and inspiration of some of the world’s great adventure racers. Being an adrenaline junkie myself, what draws me most to Expedition Mechukha are the expectation of mountains and jungles, the unique culture and lifestyle and purity of the spirit of the mountain people.

Project Manager by day, adventurer by heart — I thrive in the outdoors and embrace every challenge that comes my way. For 10 years, I have had the privilege of participating in Adventure Races, combining teamwork, resilience, and a passion for adventure. After competing, I have proudly volunteered for the last 5 years, giving back to a community that has inspired and shaped me. Whether navigating trails, supporting fellow racers, or taking on new experiences, the outdoors is where I feel most alive.

I am a qualified paramedic who has been assisting at various Adventure races. I worked at 3 Expedition races so far and at 1 world champs. I thrive on adventure and exploring the great outdoors. Africa is my favorite destination for camping, hiking, trekking and adrenaline rush. Every country comes with its own unique people, culture, cuisine and diverse landscapes. I have huge gratitude for the privilege to be part of Adventure Mechukha.

Originally from the UK, I now live in Tasmania, Australia. I last competed in AR at the World Champs in Australia (2015) and I have volunteered at the World AR Champs in Ecuador and many events in Australia over the last 20 years. I never excelled at AR, but had more success with rogaining. I have been advisor to the World Rogaining Champs (Finland) and several national orienteering championships in Australia, UK and Norway. I am a cartographer specialising in mountain terrain and orienteering maps. My partner Thorlene volunteered for Expedition India organised by Stephan Heidi & Ajita a few years ago. She had a great experience. This time I decided I should join her and share in some of the fun
