About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...left England to go and see the world, meet nice people and learn new things. No real interest in heading back to England any time soon, just fancy seeing what happens!

ABOUT ME

I'm nice! I smile lots and like to make friends. I'm adventurous and enjoy anything that gets the adrenaline going! My plan is to keep traveling! I'm very laid back and rarely get stressed. I never really plan, just like going with the flow...

PHILOSOPHY

I really want the James Dean quote as a tattoo on my foot:

'Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die tomorrow'

I'd hate to think 'what if' later in life, so instead I'm going to try and live for the moment and do things that excite me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in Ghana for just short of two months...living and working in a small rural village- the most amazing thing I've ever done!

I spotted a wild orangutan in the Kinabatangan jungle in Borneo...most amazing thing Ive seen!

I drove into the Se Pian jungle in the south of Laos and met a lovely little family who offered me a place to stay and the next morning let me ride their pet elephant into the jungle.

Every day's amazing when you're traveling around experiencing new things!

Teach, Learn, Share

I spent 3 years working as a children's nurse, looking after children suffering from cancer. The amazing children I met put everything into perspective for me and taught me to make the most out of what we have,and to keep smiling even in the face of adversity. So I'm taking risks and trying new things, seeing new places and following up my dreams, hopes and aspirations!

Oh ps. I can also draw....maybe I could teach that!
