CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy myself and those around me

ABOUT ME

I love to travel so I'd like to help others do the same! I'm not much of a planner... I usually have a general idea of what I want to do and take things as they come (whether it's travelling, free time, my career, etc). I get distracted fairly easily, but that can be a good thing too! I have a habit of spending lots of time researching random things I find interesting... recently I've been looking at random remote islands around the world on Google Maps, researching how to get there, and wishing I could afford it ＞＜

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard and be kind and good things will happen =)

Teach, Learn, Share

When travelling anywhere new, throw all your expectations out the window. They limit your perspective and take away from enjoying the experiences you encoutner. Common sense, I still find myself guilty of this from time to time!
