About Me

About Me

Tara Povey, Owner

Hi, I'm Tara! I SELL DRUGS (legally); I am a pharmacist. Somewhere along the line I realised the 9-5 life wasn't for me and took a sabbatical to travel the world and try new things. During the pandemic I re-joined the workforce and have now mastered the balance of travelling the world doing things that terrify me and working part time. Want to know more? Come take an adventure with me!
