About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem!

ABOUT ME

I'm still at uni, after 4 years. I secretly enjoy studying. But don't tell anyone that! I recently completed writing my honours thesis about authenticity in the expereince of independent travellers. So couchsurfing intrigues me! Currently studying to be a teacher!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in living life to the full and not having regrets about not having experienced things. I believe in doing things I'm passionate about. And will never settle for a career that I'm not interested in. I hate conformity.

Bunked in with lots of different people when I back-packed in America for 2 months. One of the most memorable ones was on the couch of a internet friend. We had great conversations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Grand Canyon. That was amazing enough in itself. Such beauty and wonder. But I also got to hike all the way down into it. I love the chats we had around the torchlights (no fires allowed) as the sky grew dark and the stars came out. Lying under the canopy of a million stars was an amzing expreince in itself, I could hardly fall asleep!
