My next destination:
Costa Rica - from Mar 2024 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
Born and raised on a farm has shaped me into a very grounded person, with a passion for exploring and meeting new people. I am a highly enthusiastic person with a passion for animals and nature, as well as experiencing different cultures, which I believe should be treasured and respected always. Lady Luck always seems to be on my side, with so many opportunities and I love sharing my positive vibe and lifting people up. I'm the girl that always greets you with a big smile and firm handshake. I am confident, but yet humble. Balance is very important to me in every aspect of life. I love being active and on the move, but like to wind down and relax with good conversation in my quiet moments. My favourite space is anywhere close to, or on water, the ocean pumps through my veins, although any space in nature, like the African bush, the rainforests of Queensland and the jungles of Southeast Asia and South America. I've been dubbed "very brave" by many and I am grateful for this attribute, which has been brought forth by the school of hard knocks and been thrown in the deep end. Being passionate about animals and sustainability of the planet, I would like to work away in environments that share the same sentiment. I am a wannabe artist, that likes to do painting and sketching in my free time, while listening to Bob Dylan.
