About Me

ABOUT ME

Welll, I Graduated from High School June 2007 with no idea of what I wanted to do with my life, school wise.. So i decided what better than to go travelling!! Growing up I always dreamt of Travelling to Australia, So i packed my bags & backpacked/worked around the entire country for one year. I arrived back home January 2009, and Realized I had a new addiction - Travelling. So here I am, 4 years later.. & I'm Still on the Road. After arriving back home from Oz I was quickly back at work saving up for my next trip. Which was South America. I spent 8 months travelling Solo which taught me more about myself then I thought possible. While in South America I was already planning my Asia trip which is where I am to this day. At this moment I am In India & it is everything you could ever dream of & more. My asia trip ends in November, and so I will be heading directly to England from India... Only time will tell what adventures lie ahead in Europe for me...... to be continued

PHILOSOPHY

The world is yours for the taking; whatever you make of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've experienced so many amazing things in my life its difficult to choose just one. A few amazing places I've been fortunate to visit are Niagara Falls, Iguazu Falls, Macchu Pichu, Angkor Wat, Taj Mahal, Amazon Basin, Great Barrier Reef, Carnaval In Brazil and the list could seriously go on forever. Those places I mentioned are obvious breath taking places. In my opinion walking though the alleyways of varanasi, india, or staying in a local minority village in the highlands in Vietnam are equally as enchanting if not more. The world is your oyster and I plan to take full advantage of it.
