Description
Hello and welcome to my profile!
I am a traveller in my early thirties who has just embarked on an indefinite adventure. After 6 years of study followed by 6 years of working in corporate, I decided it was time for a change of pace and to see the world and the amazing people that live in it.
I am a very active person, where my hobbies include resistance training (though I have swapped the dumbbells for resistance bands!) and hiking. Earlier this year, I completed the ~93km Oxfam course with amazing team members, hiked the Kumano Kodo by myself and began learning French. Which leads me to my next challenge: proficiency in French.
Happiness comes to me in many forms: walking on the beach/mountains/forest, reading a good book, and spending time with my cat (and even though she lives in Australia with my parents, I have a folder of photos to look at any time I miss her). -

The food was amazing and every meal was different! And the cake... it was dangerously good! In addition, Catherine took me to view some places around Bourges. Like the astronomy centre, the markets, Sancerre, etc.
