I am part of Yuujou because...

Mindful Travelling-turning every travel experience into an opportunity to share a message, connect and grow. Yuujou embodies my idea of mindful travel through its mission and opportunities. Its concept of creating real connections in a digitalised world resonates with me. I second Yoojuu's belief that real, genuine friendships can enhance the experience of life and improve health. Through my Yoojou travel I want to raise awareness and even bring comfort to some who feel unheard and unknown. We all strive for connection and sense of belonging and I wish to explore the possibility of developing such relationships when living miles away and only a screen to bring us closer.
I am also applying for the FUN side of it: to meet, explore and become a new ME, which ties in with my 2019 goals of building friendships and self-development.

I expect a friend to...

Tell me when I'm wrong, answer when I call and be comfortable being her/him-self around me.

I can't stand it when...

People hurt each other for made up beliefs, ideologies and pretend leaders. At the very core we all want the same things: peace, health and security.

I spend an unreasonable amount of money on...

Experiences (abroad travels, hikes, theatre etc), plastic free necessities, local produce, eco friendly brands, charities and books.

These are my creative super powers!
