CURRENT MISSION

To learn German, finish my degree and travel as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm half German, half Malaysian-Chinese, was born and grew up in Australia and have lived in Canada and Switzerland, so I really had no choice but to develop a love of travel and other cultures. I'm so grateful to have seen as much of this amazing world as I have in my 25 years- I've now made it to 25 countries! My most amazing experiences have always been where I have spent longer and had a chance to get to know the people and way of life somewhere.

I love the outdoors, snowboarding, hiking, the beach, jogging, adventure sports. I guess I do have an inner nerdy side and love writing, philosophy, politics, reading and art too.
At the moment I work in marketing and trade development for the Austrian Consulate General in Sydney, but hope to begin a masters this year.

PHILOSOPHY

Its about how much life you put into your years, not how many years in your life.

Never lose your childish curiosity or appreciation of the small things.
