I love to travel and explore the world in between my full time job. A budget traveller who is guilty of occasional indulgences. Join me as I grow, learn and experience through travelling

At two years old, I experienced my first journey to Thailand with my mother. By the age of six, I knew I wanted to honeymoon in Greece. Finally at eighteen, I bought a plane ticket to Africa to travel for six weeks. I’ve wanted to travel my whole life. Travel is not only a dream, but a passion, and little did I know it would become my greatest life journey
