About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To hitchhike and couchsurf to Australia?!!

ABOUT ME

Hey! Hmm, personal description, not so easy to write.. I think my friends would describe me as a bit crazy at times (but good crazy, I hope!), pretty spontaneous, always up for trying something new and going new places. I love travel, cultures, books, history, baking, people!! I like to keep busy. I'm constantly planning my next trip or visit. Not really one for wasting the day. Recently moved from London to Berlin to experience the German lifestyle, and really enjoying it.

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's really important not to regret anything... at the time, you made that decision/did that thing for a valid reason, and just because it didn't turn out how you expected, doesn't mean it should be regretted. We can learn from everything. I also think that trust is the most important thing for any relationship - both friendship and other.

Interests

I am currently working and living in Berlin, as I am studying German - studying the language, people, culture, and their sometimes strange habits haha. I spend my spare time exploring the city, always hoping to find a hidden secret that isn't in my Lonely Planet, as well as meeting friends for coffee/drinks, or simply people watching. At home I love baking, watching films, and relaxing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ahhh I looove the feeling of having just watched a good film... having said that, I don't like any particular genre, I just majorly dislike horror films!! Pretty open minded to anything with a good plot and strong characters. Read and loved many books, but one that always stands out is Tuesdays with Morrie. Read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from the UK to Africa for charity was amazing! I hitched with a very good friend, Antony, and had the most incredible experience. The journey took just 4.5 days and about 22 different lifts from all sorts of fascinating, generous and interesting people. Once we arrived in Morocco we then travelled around for 10 days - mountains, desert, sea.

Coolest thing I've seen whilst travelling was Volubilis, some Roman remains in Morocco. It was like Pompeii in the middle of the African desert. Incredible.

Grand Canyon at sunset from high above in a plane wasn't bad either..

Next mission...hitchhike to Oz?! Maybe one day ;)
