Fiona Lyttle

Active ImageGroup Instructor - Seirra Intake  (Jan '06)

Age: 21                   From: Goulburn

I am from the country town of Goulburn, NSW.  I chose to come to Outward Bound Australia to become an Instructor after spending a 'GAP' year at Outward Bound Canada.  I was so inspiried by the people and impact Outward Bound Canada has on so many lives. I knew that when I returned it was what I wanted to do.

Already my experience has been so rewarding, exciting and educational.  I have made friends for life and gained knowledge in so many different areas.  I have surprised myself in my ability to do things every day.
