Sydney has been my lovely home for the last 5 years. Feel free to ask about hidden gems here.

I'm a romantic hangered for the romance of the road, foreign cities, and foreign smiles. I am a passionate learner of diverse cultures and traditions.

I lead a healthy lifestyle, free from allergies, and detrimental habits. I also get along well with pets.
