CURRENT MISSION

I bought a round-the-world ticket!

ABOUT ME

I'm extremely restless and always looking for new adventures to be had! I have a new travel plan about every two days, most of which of course don't end up actually happening. But I'm never short of adventures, both out of the country and at home!
Nothing gives me a bigger thrill than to feel the plane landing and think, "I know nothing and no one in this place."
I'm an easygoing person, happy to just go with the flow, and am up for almost anything.
I love to talk but also to listen: I find it fascinating to hear people's thoughts and opinions and life stories, to share insights and learn from one another. That's what I love most about traveling; all the fascinating people you meet and hearing about their unique life experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Jawaharial Nehru

Interests

My biggest passions after travelling must be playing the piano and painting/drawing. I also love architecture, philosophy, art, nature, learning languages, science, history, fashion, literature, cooking, baking and food in general, and my French Bulldog, George (who sadly always has to stay home)

Teach, Learn, Share

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
