ABOUT ME

24 year old girl, based in Australia and crazy about travelling.

i want to go everywhere!!

i would probably describe myself as easy going. I'm open minded. i like new people, places, things and experiences. spontaneity is best.

i am fascinated by different cultures. i love learning words to which there is no english equivalent.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked through south east asia, south america and Europe
I've seen so many beautiful places - beaches, waterfalls, mountains
camping
hitchhiking around europe, sometimes solo, sometimes with a hilarious slovakian polyglot
White water rafting
Swimming at the waterfalls in luang probang
Sunrise over Budapest
sunset at Angkor wat
salt flats in Bolivia
Machu Picchu in the pouring rain
The norwegian coast
i worked in a hostel in Hungary in summer of 2013 and again in 2015- These were some of the most enjoyable periods of my life: meeting new people everyday and exchanging stories.
