CURRENT MISSION

As the saying goes in Zambia - to "sort my life out".

ABOUT ME

I love to trek outdoors and be adventurous. I wanted to experience adventure and life I believe should be the biggest adventure out there.

I'm independent, open minded, friendly and a Australian. I love a laugh and enjoy people's company by sharing travel stories and experiences.

I love hearing about a person's background and life story - everyone has a unique story to tell and I believe we can all learn from each other especially travel stories.

I try to make the most out of each day.

I had a stable job working in a hospital lab that I had between 2008 - 210, but sensing the need to travel I packed it up and began traveling in July 2010. I finished that after 18 months abroad.

History was my favourite subject in school and the chance to travel is a great way to enrich that knowledge. Travelling in Europe especially is amazing because theres so much history here and you can practically throw a stone and it'll hit something historical.

I play the piano, go to the beach, keep fit at the gym and pool and enjoy the company of others over a drink. I also like to chill out with a good book and/or a movie. Im totally addicted to the series 'Suits' and 'West Wing'.

My hope next year is to run the 22km half marathon.

I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Im the oldest in the family which I believe has given me a sense of responsibility to my younger siblings (24, 21, 20, 12, 10 and 9 years old).

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy in life is treating people the way you'd like to be treated.

I believe that if you receive good then you should also pass it onto someone else.
