CURRENT MISSION

brush up my Spanish and enjoy my last few months in Europe before heading back to Oz

ABOUT ME

I recently finished my education and am now working as a graphic designer in London. Sadly, life here is all work and no play so I'm moving back to Barcelona and then heading back home to Sydney.

I love gerkins and vinegar for unknown reasons. Don't ever try and get between me and a pickle jar!

I think life is to be enjoyed, not endured and that people should learn to relax...myself included!

PHILOSOPHY

There is no meaning to life except to do what you love and enjoy doing it. Always try to help others when you can and remember how lucky you are and how so many people on this earth struggle. We are all equal and everyone has the right to live happily and healthily.

Eminem is a lyrical genius...but a bit disturbed!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Alex and I rescued a lost calf in the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. He was starving and in danger of being killed by a bengal tiger so we led him to the nearest village. When we got there he was so tired he couldnt walk anymore so Alex carried him on his shoulders. The villagers thought this was hilarious and they ran behind us laughing and pointing. We gave the cow to a man who fed it and promised to look after it. We were happy we saved the cow and glad he went to a good home. It was an amazing experience and one of my favorite travel stories!
