About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world in 80 days... (or 80 years if necessary) and stop suffering of innocent people through the actions of chauvinistic pigs.

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, speak multiple languages and always wanting to learn more! I love to backpack and meet new people and cultures. Big fan of the "oldies" music and of reading. Enjoy playing sports (currently volleyball) but am up for most anything :D Oh, and you can be guaranteed a good meal with me ;) Studying Hotel Management but my interests lie further and further away from the hospitality industry. My dream is to learn Arabic and Chinese and manage refugee camps. Obviously with the "unrealistic" aim of closing them down due to global peace and the reasoning of our world leaders. Don't come to me with "first world" problems please.

PHILOSOPHY

What comes around, comes around. Go for anything! You can't judge it until you've tried it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to rural Brasil for 5 months on my own to work with a small NGO. Met a great group of people and changed my life. Started working with the NGO, Fundação Asas and haven't stopped since! Have recently managed to raise over €3,000 hosting a charity dinner to start a small computer lab in this small town. (If you're the type that doesn't surf without a small token, donating to the charity is enough thanks for me! Even if you've just a few cents to spare! All is welcome!)
