Jackson is a recent graduate from the Melbourne University and intends to follow a passion in human rights, though in true early 20’s fashion he’s more than happy taking his time to make any concrete decisions.

Jackson places a high value on his commitment to generosity and open mindedness, especially when overseas, believing that the more he says yes and the more he gives are the keys to living the life he desires - a life worth writing about.

Moving to Melbourne seemed like the only logical choice for an art history grad who loves to play and watch sport.
