About Me

Im 23 from Orange, California but I live in Newcastle Australia. I like the beach, bodyboarding, photography and going to shows. Im not big on going to bars or clubs, Id much rather go see a band play on the weekend. I love to travel and have been around the world-all over Europe, Kenya, Fiji, Jamaica, Singapore, and Costa Rica. There are so many places left in the world I want to see, but Kenya and Costa Rica have been my favorite trips so far so Id love to go back there as well. Im going home in a few weeks and cant wait to see all the people I love and miss everyday that Im here! Even though I miss home, I love Australia and have met some of the most funny and genuine people you'll find anywhere. Life and people are so much less dramatic here, it's great
