About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy, unfulfilled. The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood" - Carl Sagan

ABOUT ME

I'm a Kiwi doing the whole work and travel thing. So far I've lived in Perth (Australia) for a year, and travelled to SE Asia, Oman and very briefly France. I'm now living and working in London trying to earn enough to get as much travel under my belt as possible.

I'm pretty chill, enjoy a laugh and getting social, and reckon you'll find me pretty easy to get on with! Getting into my photography too, which goes pretty well with the whole travel buzz

PHILOSOPHY

Don't forget to have a laugh on the way

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my life highlights would have to be Scuba Diving in Oman. Not only was it something completely new to me, it was thoroughly enjoyable, it gave me more confidence in the ocean than I ever thought I would have, and it was the catalyst for finally getting contact lenses! Truly life-changing!
