ABOUT ME I studied Law and European Legal Studies at university in the UK and the Netherlands, before spending two years in Japan, learning the language, travelling and teaching English. My passions are human rights, exploring and charity work. I lived in La Paz, Bolivia for a year in 2012 volunteering with some human rights projects. I love meeting people from all over. PHILOSOPHY Life is too important to be taken seriously (Oscar Wilde). I believe in fairness, equality, and judging others based on their opinions and actions, not based on who they are. I dislike bigotry and prejudice. I like to be around laid-back and open-minded people. I'm not religious, but respect other religions and opinions. I like to eat, drink and dance.
Interested in Art
Interested in Bars
Fluent in English

Music, Movies, and Books
Iran Awakening - Shirin Ebadi, One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson. Movies by Pedro Almodovar and Gus Van Sant or anything else. Most kinds of music, as long as I can dance to it, or at least attempt to dance to it.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Jumping off cliffs and waterfalls, watching the sunrise from Mount Fuji and snowboarding through forests in Japan.
My Interests
I love to experience new things and to learn, whether it be through travelling, wandering around exploring, meeting new people, music or books. I like both my own company and socialising with others. I enjoy talking, eating, drinking and dancing, and I'm interested in history, art and photography. Recently in Japan I learned canyoning and snowboarding, things I want to pick up again as soon as I can!
