Interests

I've been trekking in the Himalaya's, worked as a nurse in Africa, taught English in Siberia, learnt how to sail in Croatia, cycled from Russia to Poland, UK to Switzerland, around Croatia and Netherlands. I love nature, trekking in the mountains, being out on the ocean, cycling and fun nights out.
