About Me

Aid worker by profession. Travel a lot for work. Love my job.

I was born in Leicester (where?), but spent the last five, maybe six years living in London. I work for an international charity called Save the Children. This makes me feel good.

I graduated from art school in London, which has nothing to do with my current job, but did give me three years prancing around being arty. After that I took a very long trip in which I travelled the whole way around the world without flying. Couch Surfing the whole way.

I once worked as a tour guide in London, so I pride myself in my knowledge.

I'm also just starting to learn Arabic, please give me time on this.

Let's meet up!
