At 21 Years Old, I Went On Adventures Around The World That You May Not Even Know Were Possible

One of the most remote places on earth. There is no postal service, cell signal, or internet. (Summer 2018)

The Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan - A.K.A. the world's roof, is where one of the world's most remote nomadic communities live.

Most of my days on the road are spent living with local families. I use sites such as bewelcome.org, trustroots.org, and workaway.info.

I’m either camping or have been invited into local homes. In 900 days of traveling, I probably spend less than 100 days in hostels/ guesthouses. (Always give back by bringing back an adequate amount of food and gifts!)

There's nothing I'm more passionate about raw experiences and adventures. Camping alone in the wild, meeting people from all corners of the world. I try my hardest to be as sustainable and ethical as possible. Nothing staged for the gram or Youtube. No people exploited for "Nat Geo worthy" shots.

At 18, I left my abusive home and bought a one-way ticket to Australia. I wanted to spend all the money I had and commit suicide.

Throwing myself into the real world broke all the beliefs my parents and society had put in me. I stopped living in other people's fears.

I hope to change your perspective about the world. I can show you the 'lesser-known' side. Venturing out in the world as a girl alone isn't as hard as you think. Most of the world is abundant in kindness and generosity. More importantly, girls, we are much more capable than we are taught to believe.

With no plans in mind, I just went with the flow.

Hitchhiking 200km in Badakhshan, Afghanistan.

The Pamir Highway is the second highest road in the world! Ventured off-road via Zurkul lake and Wakhan Valley, all along the border with Afghanistan. At one point, we had no fresh water sources for 3 days. (summer 2018)

The adventures may sound absolutely nuts, but they really aren't.

The world is really nothing like what you think. My own personal experiences, break all the stereotypes and misconceptions popular media propagates. The world is a much warmer and kinder place than what society may want us to believe.

(Disclaimer: My personal experiences are not traveling advice!)

I take my time; 6 months in Pakistan, 7 weeks in Afghanistan, 10 months in Australia is my speed.

Thanks to the Aussie citizenship I inherited, I have been to over 40 countries and have done all kinds of odd jobs/workaways. Theses include: working in a private casino, scuba diving shop, cafés, and restaurants, teaching yoga in Sri Lanka, and scraping paint off walls. I also do freelance writing and photography.
