My thirst for travel has led me to experiment with enriching experiences throughout the years & the pursuit of this personal passion of mine has led me through various paths:Inspired by & immersing myself with travel memoirs,I longed to see the world,to become an active participant as a globetrotter,not an armchair traveler.After 36 days in Europe 10yrs ago,the travel bug hit me hard & a career change was imminent so my next step in my journey was becoming a flight attendant.Finding out quickly that having a job in the travel industry didn't quite fit the 'art of travel' I was looking for,I went on to complete a journalism course majoring in travel writing.Today,people who know me best recognize my neverending list of places I want to go & the determination & new paths I take to get there!

6 countries,13 flights,102 days.The whirlwind begins in Sydney,Australia 1 week before the xmas holidays will be experienced in Queensland,aka Gold Coast.I'll ring in year 2010,16 hours before Torontonians will & take in the fireworks along Sydney Harbour followed by a trip to Jervis Bay & a 2hr bridge climb with dear friends!Over to New Zealand,I'll spend a night in Queenstown before starting a 12 day tour from there to Auckland.A 5 day tour of Fiji is next with 2 days on my own to explore after.Next stop on the map after a day in L.A. will be Brazil where I'll arrive in time to celebrate Carnaval & practice my Portuguese for 6 weeks in Sao Paulo & Curitiba with more dear friends.An apartment for 2weeks in Buenos Aires,Argentina & daytrips to Iguazu Falls & Uruguay will close the journey!
