CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world. Learn and discover.

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly and open-minded Australian. Travelling is my biggest passion and I believe wholeheartedly that it is the best way to learn about the world, its inhabitants and what binds or separates us. I've lived and worked abroad in Italy, Japan, Hungary, Indonesia and Cambodia and am currently away from home indefinitely in order to learn and see more.

I'm a vegan and very passionate about animal welfare and conservation. During my travels I have volunteered in wildlife protection and organic farming and these have been among my greatest life experiences to date!

In 2015 my boyfriend Harry and I set up a small charity on the Cambodian island Koh Rong to help the local dogs and cats. We raise money to have the animals spayed and neutered, vaccinated, and treated for many conditions such as mange. We help the local people by providing access to vets, and by educating them on caring for their animals. We are called Koh Rong Pups in Paradise! Have a look at our Facebook page:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping with a nomadic tribe in the Western Sahara Desert in Morocco. I'll never forget those sunrises, or the life lessons I took away about living simply and naturally and respecting nature.

WWOOFING and teaching English in Tana Toraja, Sulawesi in Indonesia was an unforgettable experience. From my host family I learnt so much about organic farming, natural medicine, and the importance of family. To live somewhere so disconnected from the Western world was a life changing experience and very humbling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences and perspectives, and a love of tea and conversation.
