About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Buy a ticket and just go. Just recently finished 3 years of studying - during which I didn't get to travel at all. Now making up for lost time.

ABOUT ME

I recently finished 3 years of actor training.
Also previously a graduate in French and Psychology. Travelling as and when possible to satisfy the wanderlust and fulfil the ever-growing need to go further afield.

PHILOSOPHY

Not all those who wander are lost.
If it all seems like it's going to end... it probably isn't.

I'm incredibly chilled about a lot of stuff, and not very highly strung (anymore!). I've become very happy go lucky in the past couple of years and learnt to live in the moment and be present.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic taste in music, but currently driving Adele's new album into the ground!

The Alchemist - life changing. As clichéd as that sounds, this book is a huge motivator for me.

Other travelogues such as those by Colin Wright (Iceland India Interstate, Coffee with the Other Man, My Exile Lifestyle) Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Several in fact:

Island hopping in the Caribbean.
Skydiving over the Bay of Islands in NZ.
Adventuring across Iceland in winter.
Watching the aurora.
Snorkelling with turtles.
Hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some French, and maybe learn another language!
Would love to share some of the stories of my travels, and to hear about other experiences people have!

What I Can Share with Hosts
