About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel to every single place on this planet, become an expert in every skill I desire and... mmm... okay maybe not but I will die trying!!

ABOUT ME

I am a person who smiles a lot. I love to have fun, have a good laugh and get outdoors as much as I can. It sounds pretty cheesy but I really love giving everything a go, especially if it involves an adrenalin rush!!!

Things that I am really into include.. fire (poi) twirling, going to the gym, attempting to surf and errm drinking.. not all at the same time ofcourse! I also used to busk (street perform) in Sydney with a friend and on my own and have been skydiving and Bungee Jumping.

I love love love animals and wish things would be easier for them in this world. Just to give you an idea in the last place I lived my ex and I had 3 dogs, 8 ratties, 12 mice and over 100 fishies. We would also do work for WIRES a local animal rescue group so had extra animals in the house! I am also vegetarian but ofcourse respect everybody's views and am always looking for new interesting meals to cook!!

Like everyone else here, I love to travel and ironically feel most at home when I am backpacking around. Having said that though, I am really trying to do the whole settle into a new town thing and am starting to really like where I am now. I am also learning French as I have on and off over the years. So any French speakers would be extra great to have over!
