About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of europe as i can in 2 months

ABOUT ME

I am a traveling novice. I've never ventured outside Australia. I interested in music, cooking and baking, the environment, Sport especially Australian rules football and cut throat table tennis matches

Ive been skydiving, rock climbing, absailing, whitewater rafting, snowboarding and surfing and would
love to get better at all of them.
I really love nature and the environmnet and try to get outside as much as i can

I'm very interested in understanding other cultures espcially indiginous cultures.
I'd like to know a bit about the way other people live. Becuase Australia is so iscolated it can be quite restrictive

I'm learning Italian (i can only speak a little bit - almost nothing)

PHILOSOPHY

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
"Maya Angelou"
