About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current and long term mission is definitely to go everywhere on my "countries I want to visit" list before I die!
ABOUT ME
I love travelling. I went backpacking when I was 25 and carried on for 6 years. I worked and lived in lots of different countries in that time. I then settled in Amsterdam for 8 years which I loved. In 2014 I went to live in the Gambia in West Africa for two years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I lived in Hong Kong I got to go down into a tunnel that was being dug under the sea to Hong Kong island and saw the tunnel boring machine. Drove with friends through Death Valley to Las Vegas and remember the incredible sight of the glow of light in the distance in the darkness of the desert. Drove for hours through the Sahara desert to an oasis in Tunisia.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am an English teacher and love to teach English when I'm travelling
