About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, have fun and meet many many people before I get tied down working!

ABOUT ME

After I finished a gruelling four years at university and decided to pack my pack and travel the world.
I traveled around Europe and Africa in 2010, visiting 30 countries in a year! As you can imagine I had some amazing experiences and met some wonderful people! Unfortunately I only started couch surfing in about October. I love it so much and it is definitely the best way to travel, I just wish I had of started earlier.

Since then I have worked in Australia as an environmental scientist and recently quit to start studying my masters in Finland!
