ABOUT ME
I´ve just finished uni and am taking time off before I start working to travel.
I have always enjoyed travelling and the outdoors, havıng been involved in Scouts for many years and puttıng on my backpacker shoes to see asia when I just finished highschool.
Now that I have finished study I am keen not to race around the world but really want to experience places, culture and customs.
In terms of work I am excited to be starting a career ın Indıgenous social justice in Sydney in 2011. This has come about from a lifelong passion of ensuring everyone has a fair go.
PHILOSOPHY
I want to travel to experıence and understand other cultures, learn more about the world, and learn more about myself.
