Welcome to my channel! I intend this channel to focus on my passions, such as ultralight hiking, photography, organic gardening and SCUBA diving. However we'll see how it develops. I'm certainly not new to talking to a crowd, creating podcasts or having (and expressing) my opinions. But certainly new to this medium. I've been a keen photographer since age 10 and into hiking, SCUBA diving and gardening since my teens. My background is as an educator in the university sector, teaching students about a range of challenging topic areas like statistics, computing, remote sensing and computer based mapping (GIS). I've also been heavily involved with a myriad of other pursuits, such as; research diving for a range of marine research projects, building a couple of aquaponics systems for the university, running trips and talks for high school students, doing seminars and media to raise awareness of marine plastics and other issues, etc.
