  • Biography:

    21 year old female graduate and her 21 year old boyfriend of 3 years, both of whom have travelled extensively either together or separately.


    In my short years, I have already managed to rack up over 40 countries in Asia, Africa, North, Central and South America and the USA (I also lived there for over a year as a child) and have also visited nearly every country in Europe.


    My first big adventure was due to take place in October 09, I flew out to Ecuador planning to travel up through Colombia and Central America. However, 2 weeks in I broke my leg on a jungle trek and had to have an operation in Quito – a terrifying experience before being repatriated with a load of metal in my leg – thank god for my insurance! I am planning to recommence my travels again in April 10 and can’t wait! Hopefully this time they will go by without a hitch!


    I am also learning to be a freelance travel journalist.

  • Languages: English, French, some Spanish.
  • Favourite Places: NOT Thailand, so overdone and overrated
