About Me

So what's my story? In 2015 for many reasons I started to reflect on where I was in life, and in terms of my career an overwhelming feeling started to build that whilst I loved my job, there was just something else out there more fulfilling for me, I just had to go find it.

In 2016, I took the brave decision to chuck in the London life, leave all of my Stuff, my flat, my dear dear family & my beloved friends to go in search of inspiration.

My journey began in January, and has taken me on a journey of introspection in India & Nepal, transformation & transcendence in Guatemala, and now a new adventure unfolds in South America.

On my way, I'm learning to sit back, shut up and observe, to follow my curiosity and see where the adventure takes me. Who knows what tomorrow brings? I'm not trying and control it - I'm just letting go, because that's when the fun starts.

Why am I doing it? To travel the World because that's rather fun, and adventures around the globe is always going to be more exciting than about adventures in Oval (even if it is almost Zone 1).

Namaste. Be Successful, Be Happy. Gracias xx 🕉

I'm also writing a blog: https://thiswayup.wordpress.com
