About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy life, the people around me and learn everything I can! Make a positive impact on the world and strive!
ABOUT ME
I really love the outdoors and getting out and meeting new friends, I also like cooking, painting and beaches. I try surfing from time to time but tend to fail at that -still great to get out in the ocean though! I am studying towards my Masters in Environmental Management which I will finish later this year. I also work part time for the Centre for Sustainability, Octa Associates, and volunteer for Generation Zero. I am a happy, easy going open minded person. I am passionate about the environment, especially sustainable food systems.
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy the now, live by your values, enjoy the people around you, always do your best! Make a positive change for the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Going to a traditional Mayan ceremony to celebrate the end of the calandar in Guatemala.
Going on exchange to the north of Sweden and living in the Arctic Circle for two and a half months was a real highlight for me. I made life long friends from around the world who I still miss dearly.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to share the food I cook.
I would love to learn more Spanish, more about sailing, rock climbing, other cultures and new people.
What I Can Share with Hosts
