ABOUT ME

I've grown up in Perth, Australia. I love travel, cupcakes, autumn leaves, practicing french & spanish & attempting to learn the russian alphabet, interesting conversations & challenging myself. I hate having nothing to do (can't handle boredom)! I believe in karma.

PHILOSOPHY

happiness is wanting to be just where you are
