About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share and enjoy experiences of travelling with wonderful people

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, kind and generous. Loves to meet new people from different cultures. I can sometimes seem quiet at first, especially in a large group, but once you get to know me I can talk for hours.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is phenomenally short; life it to the fullest before its too late. Treat people with decency and respect. Tell it like it is and don't sugar coat it. Find something you love and keep doing it! (hopefully get paid for it too)
