CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go like Bilbo Baggins.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in the UK, currently an undergrad in Chicago (family is half-American). So far I have spent 3 years on the South Side of Chicago (Hyde Park). When I'm not studying I try to explore Chicago and elsewhere as much as possible, and I love the prospect of exploring new cities, and meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

Capture consumer surplus.

Music: pretty much everything - Stornoway and of Montreal in particular.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Inter-railed around Europe over 2-3 weeks was pretty amazing because it crammed so much in a short space of time. Likewise, doing microfinance work in Peru and seeing Macchu Piccu was sublime. I also loved traveling through Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks.
