CURRENT MISSION

To learn how the locals live!

ABOUT ME

I am Australian but have an Afghan heritage. My love is for language, and i want to learn as many as i can and become as fluent as a local. I am currently on a trip of a lifetime after quitting my career and embarking on a 18 month tour with no boundaries -No doubt that I am a keen traveller. My life over the past 14 months has been focused on travel and meeting new people, discovering new places, learning Spanish and seeing how the locals do it. I am not the typical tourist who visits all the landmarks, I prefer to meet locals, and do what locals do, learn their way of life and compare it to my own and take on their tips for local Museums and sights. There is no better way to learn a culture than through the eyes of a native. I have 4 months remaining on my trip, and am making my way through the States to Central america, before flying home in Feb.

I like to be positive all the time and playing silly pranks on people for a laugh, although some people say my jokes are like dad jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

One of my biggest worries is the amount of time we spend working in our jobs? Who came up with the 8-5 working hours 5 times a week schedule?
My philosophy: don't work too hard, enjoy your one and only time in this life of ours, and see as much as the world you can! It's the only way to be!
