About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back person who was brought up in a family of expats. I've lived around the world as well as travalled for tourism. Roadtrips are my passion! I am always enthusiastic about meeting new people and sharing experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I've got nothing to do today but smile
