CURRENT MISSION

To absorb as many other cultures as possible on a budget...whilst meeting great people!!

ABOUT ME

I am fun and easy going - i love meeting new people and learning as much as i can from them about life and culture. My three favourite things to do are:

1 - Going to see live music.
2 - op-shopping for second hand clothes
3 - playing dress ups in crazy costumes

(and drinking goes along with # 1 and 2!)

PHILOSOPHY

Take each day as it comes, but without taking it for granted.
