ABOUT ME

I am a star gazing tree hugger who enjoys saving whales, whispering in your ear, taking long walks on the beach, singing off key and too loudly, dancing in the rain, picnic-ing, playing electric guitar, and philosophically debating the meaning of our existence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diabetes camp.

Watching the sun set over jerusalem from the mount of olives.

Winning enough money at a casino in London to pay for Alanis Morsette tickets!

Screaming at the top of my lungs whilst standing in the back of a jeep driving around the boarder of the island while the sun set in Cozumel.

Swimming in grits at the Warwick grit festival.
