About Me
I began travelling on my own around Southeast Asia in August 2017, including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. Previous travel around Western Europe. Activities I have enjoyed since travelling include cycling, surfing, kayaking and trekking. I have helped out at an English Center in Ho Chi Minh City and taken part in cultural exchanges.
In my downtime I am either listening to music or reading. These are both things that I am really passionate about.
The next stop on my travels will be Australia towards the end of November.
