About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and share other peoples cultures and experiences through travelling the world

ABOUT ME

After graduating Uni in July 2011 I set off on a life changing backpacking trip through South East Asia , New Zealand and Australia. In November 2012 I landed my job as Recruitment Consultant in Sydney. Whilst waiting for my work visa to go through I took the opportunity to backpack through Europe adding to my travel education - arriving back in Sydney in 2013 where I now call home.

I first began traveling when I was 18 and developed the addictive travel bug since then my list of countries to visit has got bigger and my bucket list longer. I believe traveling is the best form of education a person could give themselves and as long as money and time allows it I will continue to travel and meet people from all over the globe. I look forward to one day being in the position to host. I also enjoy sports especially Rugby Union and F1. I love everything about the beach and the ocean which is one of the reasons I have already fallen in love with Australia.

It is my dream to live and work in Australia permanently

PHILOSOPHY

Capture the culture from every place you visit in order to give yourself a better understanding of the world we live in.

Interests
