Overview
About Me
I'm a happy-go-lucky person with a positive outlook and I always try to make the most of any given situation. I absolutely love meeting new people and learning of their past adventures, which often inspire my own. I live for live music, beaches and adventures and I hope to visit as many places in my time as possible. I spent 6 months in 2014 travelling across Europe which was such an invaluable and life changing experience. Currently saving for a return trip to revisit places I loved and those I missed.

Music, Movies, and Books
I am a serious bookworm; I can lose myself in a book for hours at a time without realising! Similarly, I have a great capacity for suspension of disbelief and likewise can be completely consumed by films. I have a passion for live music and am always keen to catch a gig; whether someone well known or an indi band just starting out. Some of my favourite live music experiences include Reading Festival (England), Bilbao BBK Live Festival (Spain), watching The National atop an old castle terrrace at sunset in Croatia, AC/DC, and catching local gigs in Perth city.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My 6 month backpacking adventure across Europe was full of amazing things, however highlights include exploring the beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia, attending Reading and Bilbao Live festivals in England and Spain, watching Swan Lake (ballet) in Russia, crawling through underground cities, trying to navigate the Grand Bazaar and being awestruck by the magnificence of Ephesus in Turkey and reveling in the joy and merriment of Oktoberfest in Munich. I'll leave it here but I could go on for DAYS!
I have also traveled extensively in the north of Western Australia and there are some amazing experiences to be had; like snorkeling with manta rays, reef shards and turtles just off the beach, exploring caves and gorges and relaxing in the beautiful sunsets we are so blessed with each day.
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe everyone has in them the capacity to teach; whether a few phrases from their own language, cultural differences, lessons, skills and different perspectives on life. Most of the time we don't even realise the influences we might have on others.
