Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"I don't want to know what time it is, I don't want to know what day it is, or where I am. None of that matters."
To learn, to explore, to meet, to discover, to love, to find my passion, to live my passion and to grow..
ABOUT ME
I am a young woman from the Jersey Channel Islands, I fled the nest in 2013 to take my eager wandering feet across the globe for 1 year, to for-fill my yearning for travel and to immerse myself in adventure, uncertainty, and discovery. I hung my boots up and took roots in New Zealand for 1yr and a half to work, reflect, recalibrate and to sustain myself enough as to enable me to continue adventuring. As Pat Conroy so rightly put it- "Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey" So with that said, it is time to travel again, my next adventure is just around the corner. Another year wandering Colombia, India and Thailand (again) here I am in Melbourne hanging my boots up again for a while.
I am the open minded and easy going kind, I like minimal planning-it kills the magic...More recently, embracing uncertainty and risk and in general 'going with the flow'. Hippie-ish tendencies, playful, silly. Lets talk wanderlust together.
PHILOSOPHIES
Im in love with counties I've never been to and people I've never met.
LOVE hard and fearlessly.
"You can be in love with one thousand views and skylines and souls and minds at once. Don't apologize for your burn, your passion, or your enthusiasm. Enthusiasm propels the world"
