When traveling; I have a particular interest in archaeological and historical sites.

I love nature, hiking and experiencing local cultures and food. The more I get pushed out of my comfort zone the better.

I love visiting the countries that are the most different from my home country of Australia - I believe they call that "Exotic"

When at home I like to relax, exercise, go for drives, dine out and be active and social with family and friends..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most Amazing thing I have done was to witness the ancient ruins of Machu Pichu. I enjoyed hiking the conjoining mountain that over looked the ruins. It is a place that for many years I had seen on travel shows and seen presented in windows of travel agencies. It combined my interest of exercise with the experience of witnessing a unique location. It was at the top of my to do list and was the pinnacle of my travel experiences..
