About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live authentically, retaining who I am in every experience I have! To explore, live, love and laugh ~ a lot!

ABOUT ME

I am a creative, logical but slightly quirky character. I believe in living life in full and I make sure that every inch of my time is filled with the doing the things that fulfil me. I am an adventure seeker and my passion is traveling as I think it teaches you to see your current environment with "new eyes". Love meeting new people with different philosophies on life and quite enjoy a good razzle!

PHILOSOPHY

I am open minded and I think everyone has an opinion to add to this world no matter how much it may differ to my own. You create your own reality and everyones reality is valid to them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled to the east (Thailand, Vietnam & India) as well as to the United States, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Israel, England and Cuba. Some of the most incredible experiences I have had include hiking to Macchu Picchu along the Salkantay trail, Carnival in Florianopolis Brazil, getting to know a family in Havanna, licking the salt flats of Bolivia, swimming with pink dolphins in the Amazon Basin, staying at a home stay in the rice paddies in North Vietnam, Full Moon Party in Thailand, staying in an ashram in Rishikesh, floating along the Ganges, cycling across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and down the worlds most dangerous road!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share my experiences of living in my diverse country with travellers along the way. This country has a rich history and is culturally diverse and I would like to share this with people lucky enough to visit it. I love to meet people with different philosophies on life, different cultural backgrounds and religious views.
