About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn so many languages I get them all confused and start speaking a crazy joined up world language accesable to all!

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly girl who loves to meet new people and I really enjoy learning new things. I'm patient, spontaneous, decisive, artistic and can usually be found staring into space, conversing with strangers or stamping my foot in a dingy club somewhere...I'm quick to smile, with a good sense of humour and generally quite chilled out. Talk to me and I'll be a very happy girl!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm sure my philosophy is shared with everyone on here, but I think travelling is so important. It makes you appreciate what you've got, it opens your eyes to new cultures, new ways of thinking, new ways of being. And you meet a lot of interesting people along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paraglided over the Copacabana beach in Rio Janiero at sunset. It was beautiful. I felt like a bird.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hrrrmm..what have I learnt that I can share? Don't get into taxi's if you don't entirely trust the driver. Do go out and do as much as you can when you travel because you'll regret it if you don't. Don't buy phonecards! they're a rip off. Use phone cabins. And skype! And swim in the rain...
