About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See everything I want to see, do everything i want to do, and be everything i want to be.

ABOUT ME

SO i have just finished a 5 year degree in Architecture and pretty much gapped it overseas 2 days after i finished. After feeling a little trapped for the last 5 years i want to see and experience as much as i can and avoid this real world, career business for some time!!
I have a list of things i want to do and places i want to visit in no particular order or priority and working a season in Canada is the first to get ticked off.
I love art especially painting and photography and its my dream to hold my own exhibition. I love talking about things that are a little out of the ordinary. I love meeting people who will open my eyes to things i didn't know or see before. And i love being places completely different to home.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your dreams, do what you love and what you want to do, don't let others make your descisions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a slum in Portre Alegre in Brazil where they had never had white or foreign visitors. Slums are generally classed as dangerous and people dont go near them but we got to meet a whole lot of kids and play with them and see how they lived in a third world, it was amazing. Another thing was taking a 24 hour bus ride from Argentina to Brazil and being stopped in the middle of the night by a guy selling huge emu eggs.
