An adventurous life is a gross understatement when listening to the rich stories that have defined the life and work of Foxy. Robyn's early years were defined by whitewater kayaking and sailing excursions in Victoria, whilst still at school. Foxy's passion for whitewater kayaking and rafting continued as a young adult undertaking over thirty multi day trips down the Franklin River in Tasmania, the first as a nineteen year old.
After such an upbringing Robyn was perhaps destined to work in the outdoors, where she could share her passion, deep connection to country and innovative ideas to students and colleagues around the world. So she packed her backpack and headed to Sudan and Thailand where she designed and developed outdoor education programs in international schools.
