About Me

I'm the type of person that won't turn down a challenge or an adventure. I'm a total opportunist who loves to have as much fun as possible! and a natural born extrovert that loves making genuine connections with people from around the globe...
I LOVE red wine, my friends, family and a good blue cheese ;) I think I was French in a past life lol.

I'm also an adrenalin junkie- I once travelled all the way to
South Africa solely to jump the highest bungy!

So here's the deal I'm about to buy my own home very soon (I'm just shopping around ATM) so I can't really host as I'm living back with my family in the short term. BUT I can show you a really really AWESOME time in Christchurch on the town, if that's what your in to!? Nothing more valuable then a locals knowledge when travelling...

PHILOSOPHY

I live a pretty simple philosophy, so I don't really even need to elaborate on this one.... I'm not a hippie but I've been to burningman in the Nevada desert twice- I'm a free spirit who believes that everyone has the right to express themselves and I would never judge how they choose to do so...

I love to read and will most definately have a book attached to me while travelling, anything from biographies to fashion guides! And music, well I love a broad range from French to hip hop! AND love the 90'S!!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled a bit,(but never enough) including america, Canada, France, Belgium, Holland, UK, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Australia, Fiji, mexico, South africa and of course my own country which is most important, especially if i'm going to be a knowledgeable host

I've seen and done alot of amazing things, but one in particular that comes to mind is the valley of fire near arizona...it's a hidden secret. and one of the most beautiful sights ive ever experienced. I also attended a festival in the nevada desert called BURNINGMAN. In my opinion its something everyone has to go to once before they die. It's a real eye opener and i met some of my closest friends from around the world there. Africa burn is next on my list!
