About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Backpacking through Europe for 9 months...and making new friends along the way :)
ABOUT ME
Hello there! I have lived in Perth, Australia my entire life and am super excited to be backpacking around Europe for 9 months with my boyfriend Trent. I finished studying graphic design and photography at the end of last year. Although I love design and can't wait to work in my field I really want to explore the world and meet lots of new people first :)
PHILOSOPHY
Own Less. Live More.
Live in the Moment!
"A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. "
Leo Tolstoy
"The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man."
Charles Darwin

Interests
I enjoy travelling, riding my bike and exploring pretty woodlands.
I love eating blueberries and drinking tea.
I enjoy admiring antiques, historical houses and colourful flowers.
I am passionate about graphic design, typography, photography and letterpress printing.
I try to lead a healthy and minimalist lifestyle. Vegetarian food and fresh green juice with ginger is the best! Eat superfoods!
I have an obsession with squirrels....and rabbits...and cats. They are all adorable!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Seeing a squirrel in real life and feeding it some almonds. THEY ARE SO CUTE! I wish we had them in Australia! :D
Hiking the Laugavegur trail in Iceland. Glaciers, giant rainbows, walking across freezing cold rivers (with bare feet!), climbing mountains, geothermal hot springs, camping in wind so strong I thought the tent was going to blow away...it was epic!
