About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to make it back to Australia alive

ABOUT ME

i grew up in country Australia, so im a pretty down-to-earth sorta girl
i think im pretty fun to have around, i love to party, drink a lot and dance. i never refuse an invitation to go out and will always be up til the wee hours of the morning.
i am open to new things and ill try anything once, then probably again :)
im extremely passionate about things that are important to me like my veganism, the environment and animals, but i dont try to push my beliefs on others.
im a very loyal friend and i believe in treating everyone with respect and kindness. my family and friends mean the world to me.
i love music and couldnt imagine a life without it.
i try to be creative in everything i do.
i love making new friends because i think everyone has something worthy of teaching and learning.
i am very passionate about cooking... the italian in me loves feeding people. i enjoy showing people that vegan food can be really good!
i have absolutely no sense of direction and im not sure how i have managed to travel South America by myself :)
i am addicted to travelling and see myself doing it for the rest of my life. i believe travelling to new places, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures is the most exciting and worthwhile thing one can possibly do.
i dont know what i want to be when (or if?) i grow up and thats ok with me for the time being because i believe i am learning and growing as a person through travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

humans, animals and the environment should co-exist as equals.

just have fun and make the most of life

¨you can talk a great philosphy, but if you cant be kind to people every day it doesnt mean that much to me¨ -Ani Difranco

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In vietnam i was fortunate enough to spend 6 days on the back of a motorbike with a very passionate and special vietnamese man. We travelled from Dalat up through the central highlands and followed the Ho Chi Minh trail to Hoi An. I was taught about Vietnamese culture, history, the war and the people by someone who knows it all first hand. I travelled through some of the most beautiful countryside i had ever seen, and never felt so free and alive in my whole life.
