About Me

I used to work it computing full time and got bored. I started campaigning on climate change and met amazing people. Then I got unsettled in life, worked on a farm, traveled a bit, volunteered a bit, and ended up back doing freelance websites. Finally, I did a Masters in politics and everything was right. I live in levenshulme in Manchester next to a lovely park. The best park in Manchester IMO. I live with a fabulous girlfriend in a little house with a sofabed in the living room.

I am outgoing and social but also like space and time to think and read. I am open to new ideas and interesting discussions. I love food but only vegan food! I play guitar, mostly songs I have written myself, such as songs about hating technology and about forgetting my lunch when I go to work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A hangover on Easter Monday in Wroclaw in Poland and not much sleep. Turning up to a couchsurfer's house, and being given the most amazing breakfast that I've ever had with beautiful people and THEN carol singing by the family. I wanted to be adopted.
