About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cycle, camp, trek, and climb throughout the most amazing mountains around the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a twenty year old female currently cycling around the world. I live out of a tent, cook most of my meals over a petrol driven camping stove, and absolutely love the outdoors. I'm friendly and outgoing and am always up for meeting new people, and trying new things. I love to travel, and have spent a year living in Belgium, and another backpacking through South America. My current cycling lifestyle will last me years (until I decide I want a house and to call somewhere more permanently home) but I know I will travel extensively all my life. I love children, animals, am a early to bed early to rise kind of person, and have no interest in alcohol or drugs.. There are so many other things that give me the happiness I am looking for.

PHILOSOPHY

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."
