Profile

 * Name (Age): Kai Hathridge (24)
 * Tribe Designation: TBD
 * Current Residence: Newtown, NSW
 * Occupation: Visual Artist
 * Season 01 contestant you are most like: Oh, tough question. I pride myself on being an individual, so I don't like the idea of following someone else. Uhh, Rebecca would be my answer if I had to pick, she was a free-spirit who loved life, she also left the smallest trail for me to follow.

Kai is an artist living in the Sydney suburb of Newtown. He describes his personality and fashion style as caught somewhere between a hipster and a hippie. The unapologetic left-wing advocate has also been a vegetarian since he was born and a vegan since he turned seventeen.

"I grew up in a commune-like environment, there were four families all living under one roof, we shared foods, beds, ideas, nothing belonged to the individual, but to the community and I just felt like that was a really beautiful way to live. I consider everyone that I grew up with to be my family, I've actually lost track of which ones are the blood relatives because it doesn't matter. I'm thankful for my upbringing because it made me the person I am today. I'm just here to spread love and positivity in my interactions with the Universe."

Kai sells his paintings at a local stall and online, where he also takes commissions for digital art. In his free time, he reads, writes and advocates on various political movements.

"I've been very lucky in my life to have found such a wonderous, supportive network. I have my family and such interesting, artisticly-inclined, queer little circle of friends. We live our own lives outside the constraints of societies expectations so we can develop into the finest versions of ourselves."

Kai isn't one for exercise, but does not anticipate to struggle with the physical side of the game, claiming that his natural diet and healthy lifestyle keep him in ideal physical shape.

''I'm definitely more active than the average person, I walk everywhere and don't partake in chemicals disguised as food. I'm also big on the outdoors, I grew up rural, where my family worked a small vegetable farm and I took to camping. I try to get out of the city as often as I can and just reconnect with nature. I don't expect Survivor to be easy by any stretch of the imagination, but I am definitely starting with an upper-hand on most of the competitors."''
