I was born in San Francisco, but was brought up in New Zealand and learnt the kiwi way! I have been fortunate enough to have lived and worked in some amazing countries. That's when I got the travel bug.. now I am currently on a amazing trip with my girlfriend all around the world. Trying to visit as many countries as possible and meet the locals and soak in there cultures and traditions.

We have already enjoyed Singapore and Hong Kong for a few days each before spending a month in China, before jumping on the Trans-Mongolian to Mongolia. We went for a Roadtrip through western Mongolia, and got on the Trans-Siberian to Russia!

I love travelling and enjoying what every location has to offer from culture, traditions, architecture and scenery. I look forward to meeting new people and hope to share some great experiences with them :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only a week after graduating at university in New Zealand I was on a plane to Zhuhai, China for a new job. I didnt know who I was meeting, how to speak the language or where to go! All I had was a bag and a photo of whom to meet. It was the best decision ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to be able to share our travel experiences already and learn more about everywhere I visit. I would love to learn more about the culture and traditions of everywhere I visit as describes the country and/or city even more.

I love to cook, especially a good breakfast! I can also give a few different tips on places I have been and experienced so far :)
