"The world is a book and those who don't travel turn only a page, 'therefore I travel' ".




I have been in love with travelling since I was a small child. Most children read storybooks; I would look at atlases, maps of the world, travel guides and ask my dad to tell me about different countries. The majority of the way I live my life is centered around maximizing travel opportunities. Whether this comes from having a very diverse group of friends from all around the world whom I hope to visit all at some point in my life. To doing a degree that I’m thinking.... hoping... praying (no particular god just whoever) will allow me to travel as much as possible. 

Travelling to me is not just a hobby. It's a religion, a lifestyle, an obsession a drug. The world is not black so why should we view it that way. Travelling opens all your senses and exposes to things no textbook, or Wikipedia article ever could. The world is a playground, an expensive playground, some parts of this playground are under construction, and some parts are dangerous, you just have to figure out which parts its safe to play and learn in and that’s why I love it.








I've been travelling since I was a baby, I am a dual citizen of the UK and Canada, and I have been to 19 countries and have no intention of stopping anytime soon. The best feeling in the world as far as I’m concerned is having a backpack on you back, a passport and a boarding pass in you hand and moving, and knowing everything you have is on your back and you can get up or stay put whenever the heck you want. I am a transient child of the world and I love being a transient child of the world more than I love life itself.
