Out of work hours, Harvee loves traveling, gardening & cooking. Being vegetarian, cooking is his happy place, as is enjoying a good gin! Now being a dad to two girls Havana and Mali & currently studying medicine, he doesn't get to travel as much as he'd like to, so makes the most of exploring with the family all the local gems and beaches, being located on the Gold Coast, Queensland in Australia.
