About Me

ABOUT ME

My story: still being written...

Childhood = innocent

Early teens = rebellious

Late teens = festival head

Early 20's = caught the travel bug, BAD

Late 20's = tell 'em their dreamin!

Left the land of Aus Early 2012. Spent 1 year backpacking through Europe. Lived in London for another year before moving to Banff with my two sisters, Kimbo Slice & Bree (like the cheese) my bestie Porge (who i found stumbling the streets of Croatia) and my main man Sam who I picked up along the way in Canada.

We think we are funny, please don't tell us otherwise.

When we are not watching the ground attempting to skate the flattest streets we can find, we can be found drinking craft beer by the litres, people watching (in a non creepy way of course) and attempting to dance battle in the early hours of the morning, usually resulting in injury.

After spending a year snowboarding/ hiking/ floating and partying in the beautiful town Banff, in the Canadian rockies we took off on a two month roadie through Canada, U.S. and Mexico, totaling nearly 3 years of travelling we have all returned to our beautiful home land Australia.

And now I understand why people laugh at our accent... it is pretty funny..

Sam and I moved to Perth for a few years and now we are back on my folks farm just south of Bendigo, Victoria and are saving and dreaming of our next big adventure (central & south america).

PHILOSOPHY

Dare to struggle, dare to win.

Don't worry, be happy :)
