In this episode I chat to Matt Rousu. He is a professional photographer, writer and adventure rider.  In part one of this two parter we talk about growing up in High Country Victoria, studying photography at university during the transition from analogue to digital formats and an epic journey Matt embarked on, riding from Melbourne to Cairns to raise awareness of the plight of the Asian Elephant and it's place in the tourism industry around the world.
