Hi! Born in Canada but moved to Sydney on my 19th birthday and never looked back:) Started backpacking a few years ago and now I'm a full blown travel addict. I'm fortunate enough to be able to call Australia my home now and use it as a base to work hard, save up and then go again! In 2012 I fell in love with Brasil when backpacking SA, returned to Sydney, learned Portuguese and lived all of 2014 in a hammock in a small surf town in the north of Brasil. Best year/experience of my life.

Currently on a solo one year backpacking trip through the east coast of Africa and LOVING life:)
