About SheIsFree:

I'm about to leave Australia in January to go and volunteer in Tanzania for 12 months.. can't wait!! I've never even been to any part of Africa before, so its kind of scary thinking about making such a long commitment, but so exciting at the same time to be doing something like this.

Hobbies:

music, photography, and, um... travelling, obviously!

Favourite places:

Paris!!
