Overview
About Me
I enjoy the simple things in life, walking dogs on the beach, daydreaming about creating games and travelling, tucking my cat in at night..
CURRENT MISSION
Learning all about Agriculture and agricultural drones and moving to Portugal end 2025! Finally being able to go for walks/cycles/motorcycle road trips/camping trips ALONE without worrying about being mugged again!
Might start vanlife-ing.
Learning languages has always been difficult for me but going to work extra hard on my Portuguese. Batatas!
Previous Mission (I'll just keep this up here for record)
Austria and Germany 17 August - 10 November 2016, Hello to the unknown.
In this time I want to get into writing and creative things that I don't normally have time for while being inspired by new people, sounds and places :)
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice – – –
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
‘Mend my life!’
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
- from The Journey by Mary Oliver
ABOUT ME
I'm working on being more...creative, green, positive, open, expressive... although I've lived most my life as a ninja :P
I'm drawn to music with cello and alternative percussion in, and the colour grey.
PHILOSOPHY
Kindness is a silent seeping super power

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Stargazing while floating in the dead sea
Watched Imogen Heap live at an outdoor concert in Cape Town, amazing and inspiring experience. Met her after the show, she made it feel like she had all the time in the world for us, eventhough there was a long q behind us, was very special.
A good amount of amazing concerts in Germany including Amanda Palmer, Keaton Henson, Boy, The album leaf, Keøma, Kat Frankie, Wallis Bird and Band of Skulls
