About Me
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Gandalf the Grey
I quit my job in London to travel the world. I spent 2 months traveling solo through Europe and then with a friend we traveled in South America for over 5 months. Now I'm continuing my adventure in Australia.
CS has been a fantastic experience and I have really enjoyed meeting some amazing people along the way. When I get my own place I will certainly host backpackers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've spent my last six New Years in different countries. There's nothing better than being in an environment where everyone's aim is to enjoy themselves.
New Years is my favourite time of the year!!

Teach
I can teach you all about dodgeball, a sport I love which you have probably never heard of.

Share
I will share with you my stories of traveling in Europe and SA.
