I am a 24 year old woman from Adelaide, South Australia. I have a degree in Politics, International Studies and Philosophy from the University of Adelaide and I have travelled to nearly 20 countries. When I was 15 I took my first international holiday on a school trip to India. After finishing High School I took a gap year and travelled around Europe with my friend. Since then I have travelled to Singapore and Malaysia and lived in the UK for two years, in London and Yorkshire. While I was in the UK I managed to do more travelling throughout Europe.

In December 2017 I will be traveling back to Penang in Malaysia for an internship at a women's rights NGO before moving to France for a year to perfect my french language skills and to spend time with close friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the amazing opportunity of staying at an orphanage in rural India. While there, I met some truly inspiring people and learnt a lot about different cultures and religions. This kick-started my passion for traveling and learning about culture. I have since volunteered with various groups, such as 'World Vision', 'Oaktree- A Make Poverty History' group, and Jack Johnson's 'All At Once' campaign. I went on to study a Bachelor of Arts, where I majored in Politics, International Studies and Philosophy and minored in Development Studies and Gender Studies.
