The journey is my home — Muriel Rukeyser

About Me


I live in Sydney Australia and have just completed my Masters Degree.

I love travelling, and can't seem survive any length of time without having explored a new destination. I am currently up to 23 countries travelled. That's 12% of all the countries on earth. Better get a hurry on if I want to see them all!!

Two of my best friends are Debby - a South African, and Karla - a Mexican. We worked together in London, and they both live in their respective countries, so it's a long (and expensive) journey to have a beer at the pub together.

I am a science nerd.

Scrabble is cool.

ON THE 27th APRIL 2007 I MOVE TO AFRICA!!
