Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
TO DO SEE AND EXPERIENCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
ABOUT ME
I get really excited about things I like or am interested by. I like to watch, make and do things. I work in a 1950s style cinema and wear a bow tie. I listen to lots of music and go to gigs whenever I can. Film is my life and I see just about everything that comes out. I go to art exhibitions and the ballet too. I try and have as much fun as possible and be there for people when they need me and to provide a positive influence in the lives of my friends and people I meet. Hopefully that's you!
PHILOSOPHY
I'm at a point where I'm trying to enjoy life as much as possible. There's a lot of beauty in the world and in people and we need to appreciate that. I'm here to have a good time, experience as much culture and history as possible and to forge meaningful connections with interesting and special people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiking through temple ruins in Vietnam on a summer morning was definitely something I'll remember forever and I want to do more things like it!
