Overview
About Me
I am a campaigner, film-maker and writer currently travelling around Europe. I am a multipotentialite this means I do a whole bunch of stuff in my life to make a living.
More importantly through I am passionate about being a good friend and making the world a better place to be. I am the founder of a vegan festival back in London and I am equally happy discussing the big political issues of the day of football.
I am currently in San Sebastian, Spain for a week and would love to meet people for a coffee or drink.
PHILOSOPHY
Do something you believe in and respect the environment and those around you.
