Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am motivated by connection. The quiet, unseen threads that weave people together, and by a deep longing for meaning and purpose. I am drawn to beauty in all its forms: in creativity, music, words, faith, and the mysteries of the natural world. My curiosity drives me, peace steadies me, and new experiences invite me to grow.
I feel happiest in moments of real presence, deep conversations, shared laughter, and the feeling of being truly seen. My heart comes alive when I am in nature, moving, singing, or creating something from the soul. I am hopeful and gentle, yet deeply passionate about life and its wonders. I love freely, care deeply, and carry an abiding reverence for people, creativity, and the thrill of being alive.
I am an avid solo traveller and have made so many wonderful friends and stories all over the world. I've been in hospitality and tourism for most of my working years, managing and being head baristas at cafes (can make you a very pretty and delicious coffee!), working as reservations and guest service agents in hotels, modelling, acting, singing and you name it! I love cooking and baking - it's my love language!
If you can't find me, I'm either catching the sunrise at the beach, swimming in the ocean or hiking a beautiful spot and swimming in the fresh water up there...or I've slipped away from the crowd to cuddle the animals.

More details about your skills

My formal qualifications are Reformer and Matwork Pilates, Sound Engineering and Screen and Media - Acting for film, and Zumba instructor training, however I have so many more skills worth noting. I'm hugely creative, so anything creative is right up my alley. I'm a singer/songwriter, I play guitar and piano, and live for all forms of the arts. I also studied Natural Med and am hugely in tune with nature as healing and treating the cause and not the symptom.
I have over 10 years experience in hospitality and tourism;
- Managed busy cafes in Australia
- Worked as a Reservations and Guest Service Agent for a busy hotel for over 5 years

I love cooking and baking, cleaning, gardening, animals. I'm super enthusiastic about nature and animals.
I have many random handy skills and am open to learning anything new.

What else ...

I love being active and keeping busy. I enjoy the ocean so much. camping, and LOVE hiking or walking very long or far walks, I'm super tidy and organised. I grew up with 'do everything ourselves' parents. So I know how to do so many random handy things (bit rusty on the handyman side but I can be your trusty right hand man!).
