Be Like Bella

Volunteering – Discovering My Wild Spirit
Prior to becoming a dog sled tour guide I’d never seen snow. I’d never owned a dog. In fact, I’d grown up as a cat lover in a small suburb of Tasmania, about 15,000km’s away from the dog sledding kennel in northern Sweden. My new career and passion began with a half-hearted e-mail expression of…
Hitchhiking – A Marathon Month
A marathon and damn long hitch hike. From Lofoten Islands on the northern tip of Norway to the algarve in Portugal.

One week before the event began, I paid $400 to run 100km on a steep, 35km circuit, three times, around the Launceston cataract gorge in northern Tasmania. It took me 13 hours 14 minutes. It had been raining the whole week prior to the event, I had blood blisters the size of golf balls on…
Austria to Portugal – The final hitch

Overland Winter Trek
The overland track is known as probably Australia’s greatest multi day walking track. $200, was enough to persuade me to stay away from Cradle Mountain National Park until I became aware that its free in winter!

Hitchhiking – Tallinn to Munich
I woke three hours later than scheduled with a throbbing headache, dry throat, and half extinguished joint on my pillow.

The musical themed hostel in the heart of Tallinn had been…
Hitchhiking, Are – Lofoten
I woke up one morning in a filthy tent in Munich just outside of Oktoberfest with the sudden realisation that I didn’t want to drink alcohol anymore. Ever.
