About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience as much of this world as I can

ABOUT ME

As most people on this site I fell in love with traveling and can't seem to kick the wanderlust. I think I'm an easygoing person, trying to make the most of each day and see as much of this lovely world as I can. I studied youth counseling and have worked in the mental health and crisis counseling field for a number of years but am currently on a bit of a career break and trying (failing) my hand in travel writing. I love books, music and all that great artsy stuff:) I'm looking for a balance in the wild/fun and the peaceful/spiritual sides of travel and living abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

To be good to others and true to ourselves.

Take the road less travelled.
