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).
