About Me

Im a young professional and recently discovered my passion in travel, learning about other culture especially there food and people.

I have been to 6 countries and have experienced the way traditional Fijian lives and totally mesmerized by the beauty of New Zealand landscape. In the near future i am hoping to travel to Europe to visit some friends and relatives.

On my free time i found myself itching to go camping even the weather gets a bit too cold already, but i dont mind catching up with friends and watch them get totally drunk. I am a fan of sci-fi and thriller movies, into rnb and country music and i am a big foodie, willing to try any food atleast once but unfortunately i cannot handle a super spicy food.

You can expect a very hands-on and helpful guest, I can talk endlessly about my travel experiences and very eager to listen with open heart to your story. Traveling solo is quite new to me but very quickly falling in love with the extra freedom it brings and unimaginable adventure i get myself into when im out and about. I like to emerge myself with nature therefore hiking, camping, bush walking, swimming and waterfall hunting is what im interested in of doing when travelling.

My motto in life are:
“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” – Susan Sontag

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson

“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

"Life Is Like Riding a Bicycle. To Keep Your Balance You Must Keep Moving"
-Albert Einstein
