About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore Australia as a backpacker before feeling too old and lazy!

ABOUT ME

I like talking, and listening, especially in front of a cup of dark coffee or a cold beer. I love laughing. I work as a travel blogger, and I love spending my time outdoors. I go running once or twice a week (when I don't feel too lazy), I am vegetarian and I love cooking. But what I love the most is...animals! I go crazy when I meet them in the wild. I enjoy visiting parks and wildlife centres, and going birdwatching.

PHILOSOPHY

I face life with a smile, trying to get the very best from each day I am given, and trying to share my smile with the people who understand that life's unique. I try to learn something new every day and get out of my comfort zone (even if I find it difficult, sometimes)
