In a world filled with constant noise and bustling activity, I yearned for an escape out of Sydney—a chance to reconnect with nature and find solace in solitude. My journey led me to the breathtaking shores of Jervis Bay, a coastal paradise nestled in New South Wales, Australia.

My adventure began with my trusty pair of hiking boots and an eager heart. I had never been down to Jervis Bay, so I was pretty excited to explore somewhere new and was told that there was a plethora of picturesque hiking trails that wind through coastal trails and cliffs and white sand beaches.

There's nothing better in my book than packing a picnic, grabbing the dog and heading out on an epic road-trip. Recently, I did just that, intent on photographing one of my favourite regional-Victorian towns, Steiglitz.

By 2050, 66% of the world’s population is projected to live in cities. Australians generally spend 90% of their time indoors.

I love living in the city. There is so much to see and do. I love everything the city has to offer. But I long for the country and wide open spaces. It only takes a couple of days out of the city to calibrate, then we come back energised, collecting moments and memories of adventure and wonder.
