CURRENT MISSION

I do not live in Beijing, I live in Tianjin. Couchsurfing has got it wrong. If you need a couch in Tianjin I'll gladly help you out.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, thunder storms, sunny days, photography and food. I'm at the beginning of my travels having just hopped from Argentina to Tianjin, China to teach English. I have no idea where in the world I'll be in a year.
Loving life.

Interests

Creepy-crawlies of all shapes and sizes. Although I know virtually nothing about insects, I'm constantly fascinated by them. I would gladly sit and watch ants do their thing for hours. I love reading in the sunshine, being barefoot, getting muddy and photographing all the little things that make this world a fantastic place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took on the mamomth task of driving a temperamental little old Rastrajero behind a guy who thought it would be a good idea to run the length of Argentina. It was a brilliant idea! Six months of traveling at 40 kms a day, from the Bolivian border through the scorching heat of the Pampas, the bone chilling winds of Patagonia all the way to Rio Gallegos. Pitufa (our van), which I thought would never make it, and the guy, who I also thought would never make it on our diet which consisted of very little, and myself, who thought I'd never make it without at least a shower a week, made it and I would never have believed it possible had I not been there to live it.
