Wow


I always dreamed of seeing the world when I was young and now at age 29, I have seen and done so much. I have so much I want to see and do still.

I had a dream from the time I was 12 year of age, I wanted to do the Inca Train in Peru and 15 years later I made my first dream come true. I booked myself a ticket to New York which blew my mind away, from there to Hollywood and then on to a South American Coast to Coast tour that embarked from Lima then on to Cusco, Inca Trail, Puno, Lake Titicaca, La Paz, Potosi, Sucre, Santa Cruz, Pantanal, Bonito, Iguazu Falls, Atlantic Rainforest, Paranagua Honey Island through to Rio De Janeiro, one month of bitter/sweet experiences. The bitter being ill for most of my trip and the sweet being the amazing people, cultures, colors, food, dancing and friendships I encountered.

After returning home from my big Adventure I went back to my old job and old life, I found it so boring and I was sitting at my desk at work and it hit me.... my adventure did not have to end and there was nothing to hold me back so I organised my work/holiday visa for the UK and off I went to London. I was there for a year and enjoyed my time in the big smoke but was ready to move on so now I live in Newquay, South West of England with the love of my life Andre Peixoto. We both work for Ripcurls flagship store in town and have grown quite fond of life by the sea.
