Siyuan

Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons: It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
— Walt Whitman

Siyuan has been working in the Outdoor Education industry in Australia since 2016. She is passionate about the transformative and meaningful impact that outdoor experiences can have on people’s lives.

She loves adventures and human-powered journeys - hiking, bikepacking, paddling and ski touring. She goes on expeditions in Australia and around the world on her own or with a group. She completed her goal hiking to the basecamps and/or circuits of all 14 worlds highest 8000m peaks in 2024. She also aims to kayak the 4 holy rivers flowing off Mount Kailash (with the Sutlej River left to go).

She loves the simplicity of a long outdoor journey. It is challenging and rewarding. When you carry everything you need on your back, in your boat or on the bike, there is an enormous sense of the freedom and adventure ahead of you.

She often takes Monti the Monkey and Cookie the Croc on her adventures around the world.
