Samantha Cook

Samantha's journey began when her PhD research on temperate rainforest ecosystems led her to remote locations where she discovered a passion for paragliding as a way to observe forest canopies from above. After completing her doctorate, she took a research position in Darwin that allows flexible field seasons, enabling her to combine academic work with her growing interest in how electronic music festivals interact with natural spaces. Her blog bridges her scientific expertise with accessible travel narratives, creating a unique niche documenting the intersection of ecology, adventure, and music culture.
