CURRENT MISSION

Too see and experience everything I possibly can!

ABOUT ME

I'm a bubbly, optimistic person, just trying to enjoy the life I was given!
I didn't even own a passport until I was 25, and what was supposed to be a year in Rome turned into a lifetime adventure after that cheeky bug bit me!
After 4 years of living in various places in Europe I'm about to embark on 4.5 months of random travel in America and would love to make some new connections over there (as well as catch up with some -it's been way too long- old ones).
UPDATE :
That trip was amazing! I met some awesome people and stayed in some very interesting places, since then I've moved back to aus, done some smaller random trips and finally got my own couch in my home city :-)
I'm now in the process if rediscovering the city I grew up in and am considering hosting to enjoy exploring with new friends. I will be very particular in accepting guest as I am a solo female, and work keeps me very busy mon-thur, but if the right person pops up we could have a great time!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm honest and loyal and live with the idea that if i treat others with kindness and sincerity, hopefully others will have the same respect.
Basically, I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moments when I'm standing somewhere and I realize that this is my life and I am standing exactly where I am, be it the garden in Versailles, Anzac cove for the dawn service or the middle of a market in Budapest. I never imagined I'd be able to do the things and be the places I have been in my last few years of life, and that is why I cant stop doing it!
