About Me

Just graduated from University and decided to quit everything and buy a one way ticket to China with nothing but a backpack. I have no concrete plans except to live/ work/ volunteer abroad and eventually find a new home/ multiple homes. Goodbye Australia! I yearn to divorce myself from mainstream society. I'm hoping to get involved in humanitarian work in the near future. I read a hell of a lot and try and stick to a vegetarian diet. I still have hope in humanity! :)
