CURRENT MISSION

To cross things off my bucket list!

ABOUT ME

As laid back, easy and open-minded as they come.

After working the 9-5 job for 2 years and realizing that I havn't really done anything I wanted to do i spent some time making a bucket list. This prompted me to quit my job and take a three month trip backpacking Australia in Oct 2009. Needless to say, I've caught the travel bug pretty bad and have been travelling ever since!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Top 10 favourite things from backpacking southeast asia

10. Cheap and tasty food
9. Fresh fruit and smoothies on every street corner in thailand
8. Magnificent Temples of Bagan and Angkor Wat
7. White sand beaches and turquoise waters in Boracay
6. Laid back laos and the hammock sleeping tuk tuk drivers
5. The art of bargaining at night markets
4. Renting scooters and crusing outside the tourist areas into the villages
3. Finding out that happy hour is every hour
2. Picture perfect sunsets over limestone peaks, rivers, volcanoes, oceans and mountains
1. The people - who are always smiling and never complaining. They showed me that you dont need a mansion, a big screeen tv, bling or designer clothes to be happy. All you need is the very basic of necessities and your loved ones.

A truly humbling experience that i'll never forget.
