CURRENT MISSION

To get down and dirty in Africa this summer

ABOUT ME

Friendly, upbeat, likes nothing better than getting to know someone over a cuppa tea or a glass of wine.

PHILOSOPHY

"Why? Why not? Why not you? Why not now?" - Chinese proverb.
I like to try and make the most of every opportunity I've been given. There's so much out there that I want to see and do, I've barely started! Somewhere along the way my aim is to make a difference and help others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the most amazing thing I've done so far is to volunteer in Brazil a couple of years ago, where I got to know some incredibly warm, generous people who inspired me to keep travelling and to start thinking outside of my little English box.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oooh err. Well I could share my English, medical and flute-playing knowledge with any willing customers, as well as my time. I'd love to learn some other languages and find out more about different countries and cultures.
