About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and see new things!

ABOUT ME

An outgoing London guy who quit my job in PR to see some of the world. Recently visited Africa, Australia and currently in New Zealand looking for work before heading to South America.

I really enjoy meeting new people and really getting to know the culture of anywhere I visit. I am very interested in football, rugby and tennis and have also recently completed the London Marathon.

PHILOSOPHY

You only regret the things you didn't do (sorry a bit cheesy I know)
