Lives in Perth WA, Australia

📍I've lived in Western Australia for over 16 years when I lucky enough to move here as a kid, and I made sure to take the opportunity to eat my way through the best brunch places in town, hike to beautiful waterfalls and travel extensively along WA's most gorgeous south. With New Zealand so close, I've jumped into exploring the South Island as much as I could. 🏔️ My favourite activities when I go to a new place is by connecting with nature as much as I can, and of course complete with thrilling adventures! I continue to chase after sunsets, climb mountains and swim in oceans not only in Australia but across the seas with meticulously planned itineraries filled with must-do's. I am also as ready as ever to throw myself from a plane and paraglide through the air - or speed down a hill on a skyline luge at top speed! 🪂 Never passing up the opportunity for a good eat, eating your way through the best feeds in a new place is an adventure on its own. 🍛 🚗 Having been on countless road trips along WA's south to experience glittering beaches and white sand, eat tantalisingly delectable food and live in mesmerising views and stays, I am here to help you do the same and indulge in the magic of Western Australia. I take my road trip outside of WA and along New Zealand, enchanted by the impossibly blue lakes, hike to a glacier and take a helicopter to the snow-capped mountains. 🚁 My passion lies in the outdoors, chasing the most beautiful sights around. So join me, and I'll show you around!
