Originally from Adelaide in Australia, I left after high school for a brief Europe trip which gave me a thirst for travel. I returned to Australia and studied in Melbourne but also completed a year abroad in Ontario Canada. This gave me a chance to travel in Canada, the states and make a detour to Europe for another couple of months. While in Europe I ventured off solo for the first time to Eastern Europe and loved it! After returning to Australia and continuing my studies I made the most of summer holidays with trips of 2-3 months to Central America, South East Asia and China. After finishing my studies I got a job up in Mackay, Queesland and made the 5-day drive to start my new job. I saved money for 15 months and then to explore more of the world. I left Australia three years ago now and since then I have spent three months in East Africa, 16 months in South America and over a year working in the UK while travelling in Europe between jobs. I have spent a lot of my time volunteering with local organisations and getting to know the local cultures. I have an interest in sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation.
