Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My boyfriend and I have just set off on another adventure through South America for 4 months.
ABOUT ME
I would like to think that I am a kind, generous and thoughtful person. I'm pretty strong minded but not forceful or disrespectful. I am open minded and interest in people and their experiences.
So many people I meet say, "wow its so cool that you travel... I wish I had done that". I don't ever want to be one of those people with regret wishing they had done something that is so achievable. I feel I have to travel to learn more about the world and the people in it. I like myself better when I am away and exploring the world. I love to meet new people and learn about their way of life and cultures.
My job is extremely important to me, but I welcome any opportunity to have a break and travel... I've been lucky to be able to do this.
PHILOSOPHY
Be kind and treat people well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Quit my job, sold my house and set off travelling with an almost stranger. We set off with no plan and made it from Amsterdam to Istanbul hitch hiking, couchsurfing and camping along the way. .. its 5 years later and we are still together.
Ran a marathon.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to hear about other people travels, where they have been, what they experienced and what they saw. I have a pretty laid back approach to travel and like to plan as little as possible and go where ever my trip takes us.
