About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get lost... on purpose

ABOUT ME

I am a person who is driven by my passions in life which are travelling and helping people. When I am not out exploring the world, I am here in Australia working as a disability support worker.

I am open minded and free thinking. Love sharing ideas and stories with new, crazy and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

Step outside of your comfort zone... It's in that environment you will grow the most.
