How do you feel about public speaking?
Depends how big the crowd is because I'm naturally a shy person. I was taught public speaking at high school and surprised myself how well I did. Throughout Uni I had to do a couple of presentations each year and they always seemed to go well, I guess that is because I was the expert of the topic/design being discussed. I suppose all that helped when I was asked to lead church a few years ago. Apart from presentations/meetings at work, Church leading is the only time I do "public speaking" at the moment.
If you could have only 3 electrical appliances in your house, what would they be and why?
Computer - It stores all my music, videos, pictures, etc. I can use it to play games or watch TV, browse the internet or design things using various software.
Dremel - Used to create the things I have designed on the computer. Plus it's heaps handy for various jobs around the house.
Convection Microwave Oven - Functions like an oven and microwave, perfect for all the baking I do and for whipping up quick meals when I don't feel like spending huge amounts of time after a long day at work.

I have a phobia of Ophidiophobia.
OK, so I had to look that up, but it is a fear of snakes. I wouldn't say I have an irrational fear of anything, I haven't had a panic attack due to something or someone. Also, I don't go out of my way to avoid snakes, I enjoying riding my mountain bike through the bush which means I will/do/have run into snakes. But they do freak me out when I see them.
Why are you going on a short-term mission?
I've always been keen to go on a mission because of the great benefits knowing God and what he has done for us through sending his son brings to people. So when the idea of a short term mission arose, I considered it a good opportunity to experience what going on mission would be like.

What do you know about the country of Nepal, and its people?
Not a lot, probably the same as most people. I know it is the home of the highest mountain on earth. I also know Christianity isn't big there.

| Just walked down a quarter of Tasmania |
I haven't been on a decent hike since leaving school. The most epic hike was when I went to Tasmania to walk the Overland Track. It took 8 days and we walked over 70kms.
What’s the farthest you have been from home?
It was either Tassy (see above) or when I went to Queenstown to go Snowboarding.

How will you cope without internet access?
I don't think it will be a big deal, I use it mostly to browse for info. But I suppose I won't notice how much I use/need something until it's gone.
Our team is going on a bush walk this weekend. We'll be doing the 'Ruined Castle Walk' for a day to prepare us for days of trekking in Nepal, to help us to get to know one another and to test our capabilities. It is going ahead rain, hail or shine so pray that all goes well, that leeches decide not to hang out in the mountains that day and that we don't get lost. We'll update with photos and fitness levels in the next blog.
