Description

[update 16/11/2025]

After 4 years of living and traveling mainly in Ireland and New Zealand, I have just arrived in Australia by boat. It was a motor-powered one though I'm hoping to be lucky enough to be making my next ocean voyage on a sailing boat!

I feel most comfortable living close to nature and animals.
I enjoy the freedom of traveling and I am super grateful for that possibility. It has always been very enriching getting to know new people and places and learning about different ways of living.

I am open, curious and adaptable and will always try to respect what is important to others.
