About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and experience the world!

ABOUT ME

Love travelling, seeing the world, meeting new people and just hanging out doing whatever there is to do. I'm outgoing, social and all about just making the most of it. I lived in London for a year and a half and was the most amazing experience of my life! I've made the move to Canada for the winter at Big White, and moved to Banff in the amazing Canadian Rockies in summer 2011 and been here since! My housing situation is not conducive to welcoming guests sadly, though can definitely show you around town to all the good places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big fan of anything Disney Pixar related. favourite movie would have to be The Shawshank Redemption.

I love music and an open to most genres though you would rarely see me listening to country or techno. I own a guitar at home and enjoy metal, punk, rock, bit of pop, electro, house, rnb, dance, hip hop and rap.
I generally do not read much however, but i loved Into the Wild, Da Vinci Code, Rainbow Six and am now reading Between a Rock and a Hard Place.

Lonely Planet books do not count hahah (though the Scandinavia one saved our lives when we were there!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reaching 5000m above sea level on Volcan Cotopaxi in Ecuador and was still able to breathe!
