ABOUT ME

A multi-faceted sociable optimist, with a tendency to be enthusiastic about everything, with the possible exception of exams.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem! Bit of a cliche, but, for better or for worse, it sums up best how I live my life.

Interests

I seem to spend an unhealthy amount of time wearing lycra. Such is the drawback/advantage of being a keen rower/cyclist. The rest of the time I am writing down ideas for future businesses, acting, drinking green tea or eating peanut butter on toast. Or, on a good day, trying my best to annoy my housemates. Life is good!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm pretty open-minded about all of these, which probably means I don't dedicate enough time to them. However, I think that one unexpectedly beautifully cinematographed(?) film is the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That probably sounds a lot weirder than I meant it to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Voluntarily(!) going for a run at 6am in the morning, stopping to admire the Avon Gorge and completely unexpectedly seeing hundreds of hot-air balloons gracefully drifting into the perfect blue morning sky as the sun rose. I was pretty glad I went on that run!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to think I have a few skills. Amongst others, I'm pretty well-versed in fitness training (especially rowing), could show you a few tricks on the bike (mountain bike or road bicycle) and have a fair amount of experience of working with various types of animal. Mooooo!
