About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn a slang word in every country I visit

ABOUT ME

It's difficult to write this without it coming off like a bad classified ad... so hi I'm Anna, I'm small and full of exuberance for life. Occasionally sarcastic, often clumsy, always open. I currently work for a peace-building charity and I'm interested in community development. I want to see as much of the world as is possible in one life time please.

PHILOSOPHY

If it's free, eat it
