CURRENT MISSION

To write and be written

ABOUT ME

I'm a language and literature student studying to be a life-long learner. I completed my degree in the UK in April then embarked on a tour of Europe to wherever my imagination takes me before returning to wonderful New Zealand in October. So far I've travelled between the very north of France on a HelpX exchange to the very south of Spain where I lived and volunteered in a magical valley with many others committed to living a low-impact lifestyle.
I'm mostly a quiet, independent person but love meeting people and sharing stories and good food.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to ask people for their own story before you tell them yours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Taj Mahal. You think a building can't possibly affect you in this way but it does.

Teach, Learn, Share

Musicians! (as above), Creators, thinkers and doers. I love exploring the outdoors when I visit new places so if you know of a good route nearby or the name of a tree or a bird, I will be enthralled.
