About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Nomadic by heart, water-lover, creative, passionate and compassionate.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm a fun and easygoing traveller who has been all over Asia. I lived in China for 5 years and other random countries. I worked for the UN at the Khmer Rouge Trials in Cambodia and with Syrian refugees in Jordan. I was hosting in my house in Sydney a few years back, but have been unable to host since then. I love meeting other travelers, and like minded people, adventurers and nomads like me.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to explore and have adventures.. love meeting others from new cultures, have new experiences, try to understand others way of living, live with compassion and love for others. Be inclusive, relax and enjoy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Way too much to list here...! To narrow it down to one would be living in China and working as a tour guide for Intrepid Travel in China. Travelling all over China from the Forbidden city in Beijing to the huge Himilayas in the wild Tibetan west, to camel treks in the Mongolian desert.! Working at the Khmer Rouge Trials in Cambodia and with an NGO in Jordan working with Syrian refugees.

Teach, Learn, Share

hmmm... Life? Happy to stay up all night and have a good chat about life, discuss ideas etc. Can teach you some Chinese, or about international law or politics. I also love to cook vegetarian food and can cook for you!
