Overview
About Me
I'm a 23year old Australian with a open mind and open heart lost in this huge world wanting to explore all its beauty.
At the age of 2 my mother and I moved from Australia over to England to live for just over a year before moving back home. That's were I believe the travelling bug infected me.
Growing up I was lucky to live in the beautiful Hawkesbury (1hr 30mins North West of Sydney). I enjoy sport and will give anything a go even though I can not catch a ball to save my life! At a young age I found my rhythm in swimming and competed at an open national level.
At 16 I applied for a studnet exchange program and was lucky enough to get accepted to live, travel and go to school in Kyotamba, Kyoto in Japan. After school I went on a short trip to Thailand with some friends were I decided I wanted to travel more. I made the tough decision to give competitive swimming to work for a year to make enough money to go on my first solo trip. At 19 I flew to Northern Ireland from there I travelled through out the UK, Europe and Africa. Since my two year adventure I've been practicing yoga regularly, tested out open water swimming a few times, completed my Cert3 in Fitness and have danced my way to Viet Nam, New Zealand, USA, back to England and have seen a few pretty places around Australia.

Music, Movies, and Books
I could listen to music alllllllll day good tunes make me happy and make me want to groove.
Books are pretty good too. I do enjoy a really interesting true story or a book that teaches me important and useful things but in saying that I wouldn't turn down a lovey-dovey romantic novel.
For movies Hot Rod, Mulan and Wreck it Ralph are a few of the classic go to movies I love.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Trekking in Uganda were I was lucky to come across a family of gorillas. That was breath taking. Also completing the Perth to Rottnest Island swim (20km open water race) with my 3 friends... It was literally breath taking!!!
