ABOUT ME

About me? First of all, I find all this self description very uncomfortable, but here goes anyway! I love to travel and am hoping to live all over the world while continuing to do disaster response work. The eight months I spent working in Earthquake reconstruction in Peru were life changing.

I'm now living and working in England while running our charity's work around the world. If you'd like to volunteer you can check us out here. Check us out - www.edvolunteers.org

In my downtime, I'm about as laid back as they come. As long as I have a place to sleep and something new to do every day I'm happy. There isn't any greater joy in my life then working with horses - it's something I miss every day while traveling. I also love to write, take far too many pictures and will read anything you put in front of me.

PHILOSOPHY

Welcome adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

World´s highest road in Bolivia via four wheel drive! Absolutely fantastic. :) Beyond words. Oh yes, and who could forget peeing at 4400 meters with the llamas watching.

There were also the salt flats with an overly touchy guide and flamingos. Bolivia is amazing.

And in Peru I managed to fall in the river in the second deepest canyon in the world a few days before having an amazing halloween in Peru!

White water rafting in Cuzco! Now I can say I have fallen in a river in the second and third deepest canyons in the world... Amazing guides telling us legends about ducks and river otters.

Condors at dawn.

Waking up to children yelling amiga through the window.

Demolishing houses in Pisco. Getting my hair cut in the plazita. Hugging 4 foot tall peruvian women.

Sleeping on the floor of a river boat and watching the sunset over the Amazon River. Getting soaked by water balloons and having flour rubbed all over my face during Carnvial in the jungle!
