About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit every country in the world!

ABOUT ME

Got bitten by the travel bug....16 years and over 130 countries later, still trying to get it out of my system!! Very adventurous, spontaneous, easy-going, independent, fun-loving, passionate, love having a laugh and always up for new experiences!!

PHILOSOPHY

I always try and live life to the fullest. So far ive done and seen more things than i ever dreamed i would. Traveling has been my biggest teacher, ive learned more about myself and my own capabilities, as well as understanding other people by seeing the world through their eyes!
