Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To embrace the here and now! Whatever that might be..
ABOUT ME
Currently taken a year away from "the real life" to travel the world. Well at least Europe and The Americas.
Have worked for 3.5 hears in a large FMCG company (Cadbury!) within the marketing department. Traveling is obviously a passion with a particular focus on latin america. Two favourite destinations at this stage would be Colombia and Argentina. I could live in Buenos Aires!
Active person who has a great time meeting new people and getting amongst varied cultures. Believe the best way to meet a city/town is through engaging with the locals. Hostels are great, just a different way of traveling. Obviously get to see many more things if you can embrace the local community.
PHILOSOPHY
After spending 11 months on the road, I feel I haven't really changed that much. If anything, my passion for travel has grown exponentially.
Strong believer in living in the here and now. You must enjoy every experience that comes your way. Its ok to look to the future, but never get to far ahead of yourself.
