CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I began travelling when i was 19. I spent 12 months in Edinburgh working on a luxury train which entitled me to travel roughly one week out of every month. Throughout this year (2009) i seen at least 15 countries and had the experience of a lifetime. I fell in love with travel so much i decided to go back to the UK the following year and worked bars for 12 months in Portsmouth and Liverpool, again attempting to see as much of Europe as possible.

After all my travelling i decided i should probably start looking towards a career and enrolled into The University of Melbourne to study something i have always been passionate about, nature and plants. On completion of my Degree in Environmental Horticulture made the move to Townsville in North Australia and worked as much as possible to save for my South American trip which began November 2012.

I spent 7 months in South America visiting Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Throughout this trip i experienced solo travelling for the first time and loved it. The people i met in these spectacular places will be forever in my thoughts.

On returning to Australia i decided to continue advancing my chosen career of Landscape Design whilst also saving money for my next adventure. And that was South East Asia.

From September until the end of December i travelled through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, once again solo. So many stories and amazing memories to come from this adventure.

I am now organising my next trip which will begin in London at the end of June (2017). The rough plan is to spend a few weeks in the UK then go back to Europe and see what i can see. No real directions, just going to go where the going is good...
