About me?

I love experiencing new things and having the wonderful people in my life to experience them with. I usually travel to photograph the life and people of a certain place and try to capture spirit within an image.

I'm 23 years old and am excited to travel and meet many different people from varying backgrounds. I live in the United Kingdom with my family and have recently graduated from university with a degree in History.

I'm up for anything and love meeting new people and hearing their stories. All in all I'm an okay guy hopefully.

In my spare time I mainly compose my own music and write articles for online publications. I write travel, political and opinion pieces.

I consider myself a responsible and open-minded person. I love travelling and wherever I go I like trying new things and discovering other cultures and traditions. I also love reading, music and sight seeing.

Having worked as an English teacher in Northern Chile for five months I have developed a deep fascination for Latin America, its peoplen and its culture. Having learnt the foundations of Spanish whilst I was working and traveling around parts of South America I still try to improve upon my Spanish skills.

Deep chats, friendly banter and a good time, what more is needed than sharing the kindness of a host.
