Description

Hey there! I'm an artist who loves to explore new places.

I first went traveling when I was 18, for a year-long solo trip to NZ via Indonesia which changed the way I could see myself living in the future. I'd planned to escape the UK again, booking a one-way trip to South America in 2020 to see where life took me... but then 2020 happened. Since I was stuck in the UK I decided to study Illustration to develop my skills as an artist.

Now the world is open again I'm excited to get out there and experience more of it! It'd be great to meet and get to know people living alternative lifestyles with a focus on connecting with nature and sustainability. I’m keen to learn, work, and meet some cool people along the way. I finished my degree this year and booked a one way ticket to Mexico, where I’m currently exploring. I’m planning on travelling for a while, and to hopefully make my way all the way down Latin America to the Patagonia mountain range.

I also like to hike, swim, go out to events, e.c.t. Spending time in nature is something I do to calm myself and feel more connected to the world around me. I’m good with animals and love spending time with them. My mum is a dog walker and I had a dog back and cat back in the Uk so I have the most experience with dogs and cats.

I'm trying to learn Spanish so any practice is good practice. I also know some Japanese from when I studied it over 10 years ago, and some basic words in other languages. Unfortunately, growing up in the UK has meant that I've been mostly exposed to people who only speak English, so haven't had much chance to practice other languages with fluent speakers. I believe that when you go to another country you should make an effort to learn the language even if it’s just the basics. Hence why I’m now travelling around Latin America, as Spanish is widely spoken, it’s a great place for me to travel and learn. I also want to paint more and create art wherever I go, as new places and indigenous cultures inspire me a lot.

Not sure how to end this.... Anyway, thanks for reading to the end!
