About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a freespirited young woman with a love for adventuring the world while I still can. I love engaging with people, and exploring new cultures and landscapes...and this is the BEST way to get all of that:)

ABOUT ME

I love nature and anything do to with/in it; adventuring, hiking, rock-climbing, cliff-jumping, photography, picnicking, sports of any kind, sun bathing, camping...the list goes on.In my free time I enjoy crocheting over a cup of tea, spending time with friends, reading, baking, playing with my camera, walking my dog, running.

PHILOSOPHY

We've only been given one chance to live, so we musn't waste it, yes?!
My goal in life is to be a blessing to others wherever I go. I am a believer,
so I suppose my philosophy is to work at living in way that would honour the Lord.

Also lived in africa for half a year, followed by a 2 month trek across europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Papayas no longer taste like stinky feet if you smother them in lemon/lime juice! They're actually wonderful

If you cut off the top of a garden cucumber, and rub it vigorously where the freshly cut top is, you will remove all bitterness!

Shooting in manual mode is much more fun and adventurous than staying in Automatic your whole life!

If your dog gets sprayed by a skunk, bathe her/him in tomato juice! It actually works!
