Before relocating home to Australia from London, I spent 5 months traveling in South, Central and North America. The journey started with my friend’s wedding in Brazil (in time for Carnival) and continued through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Belize, Guatamala and concluded in the USA. I have so many wonderful memories from these travel adventures & still so many places in the region I would love to visit.

Before relocating to London from Australia, I spent 4 months traveling in South East Asia. I absolutely love to travel – visiting new countries, experiencing different cultures and cuisines. During this time, I was exploring Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. I have such great memories of my time here and would love to revisit this areas of the world in the future.
