CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience everything! good and bad

ABOUT ME

I would say that I am passionately curious about the world. I love travelling, learning, talking to new people, and experiencing new things. Love a good bit of banter, life is far too short to be serious all the time. Also, I am a secret geek. I absolute love what I do, and I hope it will eventually lead to the ultimate dream - being paid to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” Hunter S. Thompson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rowing a little boat on Dal Lake in Kashmir during some monsoon rains whilst our guide sat under the covers and moaned. Then we had locals staring in amazment at these two crazy white girls laughing about the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a PhD student, I know a fair bit about the immune system and can always share my knowledge with anyone who want to learn. Always up for taking novices rock climbing or bouldering and (literally)show them the ropes. I can speak v.little welsh but can teach people to say good morning and sing happy birthday (all you really need!).
