Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To backpack around the US for a year starting in July! Anyone got a spare couch and an awesome attitude? ;) lol
ABOUT ME
I'm Sydney born and grew up here. Right now I live in a little terrace with some awesome people in an awesome part of the city! Its a fun, nice place with quite a bit of action if you grew up in my neighbourhood. I went to a German International School here in Sydney so I spent most of my childhood being the Australian (beloved) outsider and now at Uni all my Aussie friends think I'm German! ha ha ha
I LOVE Ballet, Yoga, cooking and drinking (especially wine)! I'm fascinated by everything Japanese (haven't been there yet :( ), especially the show Iron Chef! It's hilarious!!! My house mates and I are pretty in the K-Pop and J-Pop music and shows. You're more likely to watch a korean soap opera at my house then an episode of Greys Anatomy.
I'm nearly done studying (NEARLY, YAY) and I work at a methadone clinic at one of the biggest and most hard-core hospitals in Sydney. Let's just say not a lot shocks me :D
Sydney is awesome but I'm ALWAYS happy to get away and also ALWAYS happy to come home again!
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy the ride
