About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To never stop travelling ;) meet new people and become the best damn streamer oce. ;)

ABOUT ME

Kind, fun loving and high spirited.

I Love to explore new places and find little hidden treasures in every city I visit, that's one of my favourite things, like finding a hidden cafe that makes the best cakes and coffee yet you have never heard of it, or a little family owned bakery tucked away in a small village(found something like this in Matsumoto japan and I must find it again!!!).
I love watching movies and anime! and if you have some you want to watch in our free time or recommend I watch, please suggest away! Outdoor sports and hiking are my new favourite things, climbed a mountain for the first time this year! It was the best thing ever.
I am a country girl at heart, but the city vibes have morphed me into a weird combination of outdoors girl and shopahollic. I've been told I'm very bubbly and friendly, and I tend to talk a bit too much. I'm usually pretty happy, and I love laughing and having fun.

I should mention that i love new food! if you know of a great food place and you think we will like it, take us please! or give us some crude instructions and watch us hunt it down.

How much is too much to write on these things? I hope I'm not getting carried away.
But yeah, thats pretty much us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved the life of a lost baby turtle, and swam with it so it made it safely out to sea. Escorted this one.. cause the first one we saved and released into sea we tried to film it... now we have a video of a baby turtle being stolen by a seagull. Not what we planned.....

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about new places from the people who live there. I would love to learn about the culture from the people not just by seeing the places.
I would love to teach you something! not too sure what I have to offer! But I can cook, and I am currently trying to perfect my pavalova making skills (Love desserts!) If I manage to make one that isn't 100% stuck to the base... I will make one for you! (Work in progress)
