About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering..learning..experiencing..exploring

ABOUT ME

I enjoy getting to know and discover this beautiful world and its diverse people. I like meeting new people listening and sharing stories and having a laugh.
I spend time between Australia and the rest of the world when i can. Im currently in South America after having travelled through Central America.

PHILOSOPHY

We are no longer simply citizens of a city or of a particular country, we live in a planetary civilisation.

´When you travel, you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, time passes more slowly, and on most journeys you dont even understand the language the people speak. So you are like a child just out of the womb. You begin to be more accessible to others because they might be able to help you in different situations´ Paulo Coehlo

Dont think outside of the box... get rid of the box.

Dont take life too seriously...Nothing is permanent

Learn
Love
Give
Awareness
Play
