About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the world when there's still time.

ABOUT ME

Born in New Zealand, I had an early start in travelling around the world thanks to my diplomatic parents who are now situated in Sweden. I was brought up in New Zealand, Taiwan, Scotland, and the US. My goal in life is to travel around the world on a low budget, to learn about the different cultures and to meet as many people as possible! Even if you can't host me, I would still love to have a cup of coffee with you and just chat about life!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone's gotta go some day, enjoy the moment but cherish time.
