Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm from London, UK - I've been working in PR, marketing and media for eight years (in the travel and tourism industry) and recently have started to travel more and more.

I did my first big, epic solo trip (and first time out of Europe) in 2025 to Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Hong Kong and now I can't wait to visit even more countries and experience different cultures.

While travelling, I loved staying with host families off the beaten track and having authentic, meaningful experiences. I'm really excited to learn more about myself, make a difference, help out and have as many varied life experiences as possible. I think that's what gives me meaning in life.
