Hey I'm Frankie!x I'm from the small island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. I've decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Jersey life and go explore the world and all it has to offer.

After traveling for a year again the first time around, a good few years back, I have the itch to go again and so I have decided to embark on this journey, but with a difference! This time I want to meet more locals, see more sights, learn new skills, stay away for longer and as resourcefully as possible.
I'll be writing about all of this along the way too, as travel and writing are my passion, it's a big world out there and I intend to learn more about it and the people who dwell in it, and hopefully they'll learn something from me too ;-)

I love being out and about, I love sitting with a good glass of wine (prosecco!) listening to good music, live bands if possible, interacting with people, talking about anything and everything, that is when I'm not out running and keeping fit. I've recently gotten into yoga too, which I'm loving.

All of the above is great, as long as I also have some time to be able to sit and practice some yoga, reflect and meditate, this is what is important to me to maintain a healthy body and mind x

I'm hoping to meet some really cool people and see some really cool places that don't fit into the usual tourist trap, and hopefully gain some new friends along the way. I want this to be a learning curve and a real memorable experience.

Unfortunately due to my traveling plans I am unable to host at this time, however, if this experience proves to be as successful as I imagine then I will for sure return the favor and open my door to anyone who needs it once I have laid my hat somewhere x

Oooo I can pick only 1... haha
Oooo, I have to pick 1?! ... ummm, I made a bold decision to leave work, family, home and travel the world in search of greatness and happiness x

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't take life to seriously, enjoy it now. Be at peace with everything you do in life, make it count.
I'd like to think I can teach people about Jersey, I love to learn pretty much anything, I'll usually give it a go!
And I want to share my time and perspective on life, everyone has a difference of opinion, you can really learn a lot and see things differently when you step outside your box :0)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will happily share some cooking tips and information on the benefits of eating more of a plant based diet (which I'm learning myself at the moment) :0)
As well as my time, I can share information about where I have lived and traveled, spread the word about little 'ol Jersey!
