About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world!

ABOUT ME

Love learning from new people, new places and new experiences, want to travel the world and make friendships along the way. I'll try anything once, love life and the things in it, I have a million interests and an eclectic group of amazing friends, love adventures, spending time in nature, playing music, sharing stories and taking photographs to capture it all :)

Bit of a left-wing green nature freak who drinks too much herbal tea.

PHILOSOPHY

Fill your life with the things that matter, spread your happiness to other people, make an impact, let your light shine through.
