About Me

From Hobart, Tasmania but living in Banff, Alberta until 2018!

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I take my seat belt off before the plane's stopped moving. I love people. I don't like shoes. I love plants, especially succulents. And I love traveling. Dogs are top-notch too. I'm spontaneous and adventurous, weird and out-going. I'm open-minded and will try most things at least once. I think I believe in ghosts and souls and reincarnation, and definitely believe that one day, triangles will fit through damn squares.

I graduated college in 2013, spent 2014 waltzing & wondering around Europe, came home in 2015 to uni and work and all those horrible responsibilities that adulthood brings, traveled to Burma and road-tripped across Aus to ease the stress, and finally woke up in 2016 realising uni wasn't for me, quit, moved to full-time work, drank a lot of G&T and coffee, and somehow ended up in Canada.

PHILOSOPHY

'Go to the people and places that set a spark in your soul.'

'Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry.'
