About Me

Im on a round the world trip at the momment.. First stop is Sth America.. Been through Chile and Argentina, and into Brazil, reaching Rio just in time for il Carnivale'..Went to the pantanal from Brazil, and of course some tropical islands.. through most of Argentina again and eventually have headed north for some more jungle trekstrips in Bolivia, mountain climing, desert road trips through northern Chile, white water rafting and long bus rides as i make my way up and across the continent.. Went through Peru, Equador, Columbia.. and got a boat through the Carribean to Panama. From there i made my way up to Mexico City for a quick stop in London. A month in Europe in winter was enough, before i headed to Thailand and Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and a million other temples before spending some well deserved time on some of the beautiful beaches.. Sadly its time to come home...

My Interests

Right now.. Travel.. i cant get enough of the idea of being an international bum!!!!!All things science; maths, physics and chemisty, I bought my very own periodic table in Spanish while in Buonas Aires, and yes its coming around the world with me too! Anthing 80's and animated. You should see my green rainbow bright yoga pants, then u'd know the meaning of cool!

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can teach me spanish really really quickly!- Done and done.. his name was Okfel, he was a dude.. and i even let him try some vegemite.. so sad its all over now..

Movies:

Love comedies; Anchorman, Zoolander, Ace Ventura.. anything that gets me giggling. Love my cartoons; Movies from my childhood are the best! Fluppy Dogs!!! Honey i shrunk the kids, Disneys Robin Hood! in my teens it was more clueless, romeo and juliet, 10 things, typical girl stuff. Also, gotta have a good sound track too tho.. Lion King is a perfect example haha, American Psycho.. "do you like Huey Lewis and the news?"

Television:

i dont make time for tv.. footy, cricket, doco or comedy here and there..

Books:

Lonely planet guides are my weapon of choice these days, only i wish theyd just be honest and tell you straight up if something is gunna be ####..

Heroes:

Super Ted, Spotty and Prof. W.R. Jackson

Viva Roma!

After a month of speedy travel through Europe, its finally time to go.  I have decided that its a bit too pricey, a bit too chilly, too clean and organised for my style of travel.  I havent ...
