Peter is the founder of Hands Across the Water, a charity he set up after working in Thailand as a forensic investigator following the 2004 tsunami. What started as a mission to help identify victims quickly turned into something much bigger when he saw the living conditions of orphaned children. Deeply affected, he built a charity to give those kids a safer, more hopeful future. Peter also runs a consulting business and has been honoured with the Order of Australia Medal for his humanitarian work. Through his project in Thailand, he’s found a way to combine meaningful travel with real community impact — supporting children’s education, creating local jobs, and promoting sustainable tourism across the country.
