CURRENT MISSION

Travel, explore, dream big, be creative, meet people

ABOUT ME

I'm 24, I am a happy sort of person with a creative take on life. My interests are pretty wideranging and I enjoy meeting new people. I'm vegetarian and interested in being as eco-friendly and thoughtful of the world as I can. I work as a cadet aboard the youth development ship 'Spirit of New Zealand' and as a freelance illustrator and writer. In my time off the ship I love exploring wild places and having adventures :)

PHILOSOPHY

The only thing you can control in life is your attitude! So you may as well have a good one. Ideally I would like to be able to make decisions like an adult and play like a child. I think cynicism is a waste of our time on this planet.
