Hotel Review: TAO Riverside Residence Phnom Penh Cambodia 🇰🇭
Welcome to Lostdigger - Before I walk from Cottesloe Beach in WA to Bondi Beach in NSW starting late March 2025, I experience South East Asia.
I was in the Australian Defence Force, for 25 years. As I started this UA-cam channel I was going through a unplanned and surprising medical separation from the ADF, due to a multitude of service related injuries.
After to losing 13 close friends to suicide! all within 3 years, all from emergency services background, I want to bring awerness to the "Black Dog" that high profile occupations deal with, once they leave that career. They dont have that "community" they once had.I have come to release this is all a common dominator from professions that deal with high risk.
If you want me to travel certain areas whislt I discover Australia, or the world! send a message would luv to heasr from you.
