Description

Hello Families and Friends,

I am a Sydney-born and raised traveller and writer who has visited various countries across the globe and am looking to travel as much as possible over the next few years. Prior to my travels, I worked in the Australian Fashion Industry (PR, Marketing, Content Management) for almost ten years. My forte in the last few years was menswear custom tailoring (I hold a certificate in Fashion Marketing from Raffles College in Sydney, an Advanced Diploma in Event Management, Certificate in Retail Operation).

I have been working as an English teacher in Vietnam for the previous 4 years at various schools and have also been working as a Summer Camp counsellor as part of a children's English Language Centre. Additionally, I have taught online English to young students residing in China. I am a certified TESOL-TEFOL teacher. I absolutely love children, teaching them but also learning from them. It’s always a pleasurable and exciting experience to be a part of a child’s growth.

Currently, I work as a writer for a Media Agency located in Vietnam, focused on writing articles and pieces for expat travellers. I also am a self-contracted copywriter for businesses in Australia.

My workaway experience includes volunteering at the Permaculture Children House in Chiang Mai, Thailand - an NGO initiative and ecovillage. By living on the farm I have great responsibility in working closely with the children here as well as participating in sustainable farming/distribution. Through the project, I am being educated in resourceful living through solar power energy, and naturopathy, and am active in the greenhouse on our farm.

Additionally, I have worked closely for a non-profit organisation called The Exodus Foundation as a coordinator of the volunteers who served vulnerable, homeless members within the community. The matter of homelessness is something very close to my heart, and seeing its prevalence all over the world is what has inspired me to travel even further and broader in order to understand International Aid. Other homeless initiatives that I have volunteered for include my service with both St. Vincent De Paul and the Salvation Army.
At this stage, I am looking to work overseas, grow my life experiences and hopefully assist in every way that I can to help others. I am a fun, mindful, caring and loving person who is excited to meet great people across the world and learn from the experiences of others.

I love to read, write, play the guitar, listen to music, meet new people and learn. :)

What else ...

I work as a writer and I enjoy meeting new people and reading.

I've reached 54 countries through my travels and love to hear and exchange stories with other travellers.

I love to cook for small and large groups and take great pleasure in sharing music with others, chatting about food and of course sharing wine with someone and learning about their life.

I love dogs and spending time with children.

I am organised, committed, down-to-earth and love great banter!
