Travel

I LOVE to travel. My favourite things to do while travelling is to get out of the city and see a country’s natural beauty and to try new food. Castles and waterfalls are my favourite things. Often my travel plans revolve around chasing waterfalls. No wonder my husband proposed to me at a waterfall!

I lived in Melbourne, Australia for 7 months. I absolutely love this country and the people who call it home!
