About Me
Hi, I'm Angela i am 25 years old and I'm from Papua New Guinea. Travelling and getting to learn new lifestyles and cultures has always being my dream growing up. I always loved to spend my time with nature and going on adventures and meeting new people. Which is why this year i've decided that i wanted to be open about my adventures and get to know people from different cultures and plan a trip to travel aboard. I haven't had time to travel out of my country due to personal reasons but hope i get to go out of my comfort zone and experience the world around.
