CURRENT MISSION

Find the simplest reasons to be happy, then the big things tend not to disturb you so much.

ABOUT ME

Hellooo!
I am currently a third year full time student nurse, learning in the emergency care environment. When I qualify I plan to get as much experience in the trauma sector as possible and in the long term, work for charitable organisations deployed to areas of natural disaster, war or human displacement camps.

Work can be pretty hard going so I try to take as much time doing therapeutic activities as I can. In the summer I grow my own vegetables and have quite an extensive plant and flower collection. I spend as much time outside as I can, weather its walking down the fields on the farm I live, swimming in natural lakes or just sitting reading in the sun. I'm simple and easily pleased. Very easy going and down for whatever comes up.

I can be very sarcastic and I'm brutally honest but at least we know where we stand!

I get around when I can, a couple days off is a good enough excuse for me to pack the little red Clio and head off somewhere remote - usually alone. Alone is a necessity sometimes.

I like people too though..

I can't host at the moment as I am living in a converted barn on my parents farm and our dog doesn't play nice with strangers.

******

I'll be exploring Tanzania - my 7th African country for 4 weeks in December taking part in some NGO work in Arusha, then I hope find some wonderful people to spend my Christmas and New Years with.

The rest of winter - during January and February 2019 will be spent driving around Finland and Murmansk - NW Russia with my dad, in our Unimog .

I'd love to meet you along the way!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not overly philosophical but, focusing on the positive and the good and happy is always a great place to start.
