About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Passionate about travel, design, volunteering and dining out.

Love learning new things, especially languages.

Now wrapping up my Bachelor of Arts degree, and excited to see what the future holds.

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12, my late grandma took me on one of her organized trips around Europe. This trip changed my life, opened me up to different cultures, and planted a travel bug in me that has yet to go away!

I feel like I've been really lucky to have seen and done the things I have. To me, these things are amazing (even though they may seem a bit dull to other people), but I guess that's the beauty of travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy hearing about other peoples' travel horror stories and adventures - I've learnt so much from other people, and I want to continue doing more of that!

I always enjoy brushing up on my French, so si vous êtes francophone, SVP me contactez!! On peut parler ensemble!
