CURRENT MISSION

Travel where I can, when I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm an introvert, but I love meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I love food, and I will try (almost) anything at least once. Most of my most memorable experiences are those that have taken place while travelling outside my comfort zone. I've met some really cool people throughout the world, many of whom I now call good friends.
