CURRENT MISSION

Cramming in as much of the world as possible before I get too old or tied down to see what is out there

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance travel journalist backpacking through southeast asia, new zealand and south america. I have only a couple of weeks left which makes me sad. But I have met a buckt-load (at some point I will see if this is literally true) of great new people and hopefully a clutchful of friends for life.

PHILOSOPHY

Play it forward - people have put trust and faith in me and have been so welcoming I want to be able to do the same when I am back and in one place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good cook and can sort of play the guitar.
