ABOUT ME
Grew up in a small country town of W.A. Infected with the travel bug from a very young age thanks to my family and Girl Guides! Been exploring ever since. Love my greatest challenge, my children. They were born on the road and yes I am a testament to the reality that you can Have Kids And Travel.
Try to balance the social expectations of this life with plenty of travel to meet the multitude of interesting characters... however India had other ideas about my restlessness and while the intensity remains, the speed is slowing down!
When I'm not traveling I live in the tropics with plenty of water. Water for drinking, swimming, snorkeling, diving, waterfalls, kayaking, growing crazy gardens, washing clothes with, oh and the odd shower! Immensely enjoying my yoga path and working on mastering meditation with all of life's interesting distractions.
