About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working in a corporate job, wearing lady suits, and saving money for further studies and adventures.

ABOUT ME

24 year old queer, tattooed, feminist, adventurer.

I recently returned home from an 8 month adventure around South America. I'm now once again living in Wellington, the coolest little capital in the world.

I am currently saving up for a 3 month adventure to the USA in March 2016.

PHILOSOPHY

Getting lost makes life so much more exciting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one?

That time I traveled from Colombia to Brazil on a boat down the Amazon river for four days was pretty unreal. I went by myself, not able to understand any Portuguese, had to bring my own hammock to attach to the boat ceiling and sleep on. The sunsets and sunrises were the best I've ever see.
