About Me

CURRENT MISSION

10 years of travelling, I want to keep going

ABOUT ME

So I started to travel when I was 18 and have never looked back. I first lived in Scotland for a few years, did a lot of travelling around Europe and loved it. Went back to Oz for a few years and got itchy feet again. Headed to Canada, Switzerland, Austria, France for 4 more years, snowboarding, Mountain biking, canoeing, climbing and general crazyness. Hong Kong for 3 months, that was an experience, then to Japan met my girlfriend there and now back in Europe. I love it over here and could very easily move here. that's me.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to travel and I am trying to find jobs that I think would be fun or interesting. I am trying to see as much of the world as possible, meet local people and experience what they do on an everyday basis living where they do.
