ABOUT ME

I adore meeting people, and am captivated by pretty much anything thats interesting which is one of the best things about traveling on your own! I party in the places i visit to see as much of the nightlife as i can, whilst absorbing the more serious stuff in the day! Last october i left on a one way ticket to travel and find work abroad and hard to not sound cliche, but im easygoing, very sociable...Plus a very good houseguest i promise!

PHILOSOPHY

Travelling is amazing but the best bits are when you can stop for a moment and truely experience where you are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To bring this big question back down to something small, i think the most amazing thing iv seen this year is a silk worm. I held one in my hand whilst in Vietnam and it was the softest, most underrated thing ever. I had stupidly never thought to know how silk was made, how the worms were cultivated, and there they were all wriggly.
