Description

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive - Howard Thurman

In December 2020 I quit my job as a teacher and moved to Europe with the plan of gaining international teaching experience. However, I fell in love with traveling and took this as an opportunity to delve into self-exploration, learning about different cultures and languages, and focusing on passions of mine other than teaching.

My current path:
Ultimately I want to be working in holistic retreat centres creating and leading tour programs, facilitating various workshops and supplimenting this with nutritious food plans and low waste catering.

My current mission:
Gain more experience in adventure tour guiding (particularly, hiking, climbing, rafting/kayaking/packrafting) and at retreat centres. I am also planning to complete my bush1, rock1 and kayak1 qualifications in NZ at the end of this year/early next year.

I have always had a passion for holistic health and wellbeing and In 2025 I completed my YTTC in Rishikesh which gave me tools to further develop this. Afterwards, I found myself in Tunisia working with a beautiful community, guiding yoga and meditation and creating safe spaces for people to be able to go beyond their outer-self and explore their inner-self.

I also have experience in developing, managing and implementing trekking plans (Previously for treks in North Macedonia and Corsica, Currently for a trek in Bosnia & Herzegovina August/September 2026), as well as scouting for and organising packrafting tours (Montenegro).

Regarding self-learning, recently I have been deep diving into food medicine & body care products, nutrition & how to optimise nutrition absorption, zero waste lifestyle & how to cultivate food from food scraps.
