About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To appreciate every moment.

ABOUT ME

Yikes. Okay. I'm 24, I live in Sydney, and I lead a pretty ordinary life. I could say stuff like I'm open-minded and love long walks on the beach but that would sound too lavalife-like so I won't.

I will say though that I like challenging myself. I think life becomes much more interesting once you start pushing yourself out of your comfort zones. At the very least at the end of the day you come out with some pretty cool stories.

PHILOSOPHY

I have this quote I like that pretty much sums it up:

"Mindfulness is about being where you are. not where you've been, and not where you're going. and recognizing that all things will pass, meaning that, joy will pass, sadness will pass, and your life will pass. and embracing that mortality, and being in that mindful place, i think gives you the freedom to just enjoy and be where you are. don't think about so much the future or the past or the mistakes, know that every experience, good and bad, painful and joyful, is adding up to you, and being your life. and that's good." - Teri Hatcher

Interests

I like sketching and jamming on the keyboard, but don't really get much time to do stuff like that nowadays. Oh and I think I'm hooked on this whole travelling thing, so I think I'll be doing that for a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing up a rundown cupola of a nameless church-turned-mosque from the ancient times in Ephesus, with a local we met that day, for some reason left a lasting impression on me. As did seeing the Pyramids. And working at a hospital in Kenya during riots. Delivering a baby. Skydiving. Bungy jumping. Here's to more amazing things to come!

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Laos, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey
