About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Simply making my dreams come true...

ABOUT ME

I am a 26 year old girl who loves traveling. It is my drug and I cant live without it. Just went to Africa to do some volontary work at an HIV clinic and a lion park. Seem to love every place I go to and want to make it my home...which is confusing sometimes... After africa, I worked as a horseback riding tourguide in Ireland for a while until I finally got accepted for a PhD position in Australia, my second home.

I believe that you become who you are by making your dreams come true and that you have to become who you are in order to be happy. If I'm right, it's essential to fullfill your dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to regret something you did than something you never did.
