Travel information

I am currently

Description

I thrive under new experiences, adventures, challenges, and revel in the growth from getting outside my comfort zone. Engaging with new people from diverse backgrounds brings me such joy.

These are things that make my heart flutter.

I'm open minded, empathetic, compassionate, resilient, hard worker and try to live in a socially conscious way.

I have useless hand eye coordination so ball sports are a no! But i love getting my hands dirty, helping others, seeing (and admiring) the results of my hard work.

I've lived majority of my live on the sunny East Coast of Australia, surrounded by beaches and rainforest. If not by the beaches, I've been in Outback Queensland, surrounded by horses, livestock, dogs, cats, pigs, snakes, red dirt and a variety of birds. These experiences are interspersed with a wide range of travel and working holiday visas elsewhere! I've also spent time volunteering in a variety of places and countries including hostels, yoga studios, farmstays and two years in a disaster and emergency service organisation.

More details about your skills

I have a wide range of skills and varied experiences. I am a super quick learner, adaptable and absorb new information and skills best through experiencing, seeing or reading it.

I grew up on a small hobby animal farm and know my way around horses, dogs and other small animals. I'm an advanced beginner with horse riding. I've also been blessed with successfully raising and training my beautiful chocolate labrador.

I have a green thumb when I'm at home and love taking care of variety of plants.

I've experience with painting walls indoors and doing odd jobs around the home including furniture refurbishment. I'm handy with cars - I've replaced electric windows, batteries, stereo head units, headlights, minor repairs and oil changes to name a few.

My career outside of my hobbies and other ventures has focused on education, project management and health. Specifically as a public servant.

I grew up in a home, the oldest of 6 children, with the youngest 13 years younger than me. Equipped to handle babies as well as other youngsters including some children living with disabilities or disadvantages.

I'm a budding wine enthusiast; gaining knowledge and experience is my next preferred adventure. This was a main decider in choosing France and more specifically the Bordeaux region as my next adventure. I'm looking to undertake WSET Level 2 Award in Wines before September 2025.

Essentially, I am capable enough to take on anything - a jack of all of trades.

Age

35

What else ...

I latin dance for fun. Specifically Bachata and Salsa.

I'm always up for boardgames and card games - Catan, Monopoly, Uno, Rummiekub, Exploding kittens, Bananagrams. I'll try anything once.

I'm still waiting on my Hogwarts letter.

I have a habit of dabbling in every craft - sewing, knitting, macrame, painting, cardmaking, scrapbooking.

I'll also enthusiastically jump out of planes and off bridges (with harnesses/parachutes of course).
