About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live an adventurous and rewarding life.

ABOUT ME

I am a very adventurous and outgoing person. I have never been scared of getting on a plane by myself and flying into a new experience. I love getting out of my comfort zone and challenging myself, because I find it is then when I discover the extaordinary part of life. I am very privileged to have a very loving family and amazing friends in my life- I know that I always have them to go back to when I travel the world and meet more interesting people. People from all cultures are ultimately the same with the same need for love and I therefore value travelling as one of the best forms of self education. I am interested in developmental work and I am currently volunteering in Costa Rica as an English teacher. Two of my students are rastas, which I love, because it adds to the diversity around me. I love to play the guitar and sing and I've been in a band! I enjoy wining and dining. I have a lot of close female friends, but I'm also a boys girl- happy to hang out with a bunch of guys. I consider myself to be very friendly and respectful of all people I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

Always repect everyone you meet, because everyone has a story. Always see things from a positive perspective-It creates a positive cycle and good karma. I have never been scared to take on a new experience and it has only served me well!

Teach, Learn, Share

You only live once, so if something inside you tells you to follow a certain direction go with it. Don't be scared- Just go. You won't regret it and there is nothing to lose. The world has so much to offer, so absorb as much of it as possible. Never stop learning.
