About me: 
In April 2009 I left my beautiful island home of Hawaii, and all the material comforts of my modern western world existence behind to wander the planet seeking ADVENTURE and opportunities to be of SERVICE.



My adventures so far have brought me back to the bar in Melbourne where I saw my first naked woman with my Grandpa [at age 8!], to an epic 11-hour motorcycle ride on a couple of Harleys down to the famous Twelve Apostles, to the little tea house owned by Violent Femmes founder Brian Ritchie, and to an organic 'Luxury Campground' living 'off the grid' in the mountains of Tasmania....to name a few.



I want to see for myself what other people are doing to impact our world positively, and give myself a first-hand education about changing the world....

so this is incredibly random, but i was just looking at a matador article about wwoofing and the comments below it when i stumbled on your blog and realized that you and i both stayed at kerikeri organics recently. i moved in there two days after you left and hung out with nikolas, katja, and sophie. they talked about you a lot and nikolas showed me pictures of you guys at the kauri forest. anyway, just thought you should know that you definitely left an impression on them and they miss you lot. and your hat is now with sophie at the tongariro national park. hope your adventures are going well! wwoofing in new zealand is an incredible experience!

Cheers,

P.S. I'm a sustainability, organic girl myself.

Melbourne's streets thrum with music, art and life at all hours. It's one of the things I love about this city.

The other day, I walked with the crowd up the stairs from the train platform at Flinders St station, in the midst of a mystical musical landscape created by a busker sitting on his guitar...

The first time I ever saw a naked woman was at a bar with my Grandpa.

My Grandpa, Keith Lynch, owned the McKinnon Pub [about 1/2 mile away from where Mum & Dad live today], and brought up Dad and his 3 brothers here; as a result the Lynch men are a very colorful bunch...our family get-togethers are...
