Welcome / Willkommen

I’m a 27 year old Australian, currently sailing singlehanded from Holland to Melbourne, Australia on a 26ft British sailing vessel named ‘Constellation‘. I sail on a tiny budget, doing odd jobs where I can, as well as receiving generous support from sponsors and individuals from around the globe. If you’re interested, I suggest getting up to date with where I am, via my last reported position, or alternatively you can read about what I’ve been up to lately on the blog. The archive contains the history of this expedition, tracking my progress from nothing to where I am today. I am a software developer and artist, read more about who I am here.
