CURRENT MISSION

Travel around Spain and meet as many interesting people as possible before I have to start my new job in rainy England

ABOUT ME

I love learning about other cultures and living abroad; I studied Anthropology and History at university and lived in Japan for two years teaching English in Elementary and Junior High School. When I was younger I wanted to be an archaeologist... but I'm starting as an accountant in September, it's funny how things work out!

I'm currently living in Sevilla, Spain, although in September I'll be moving to Bristol - Depending on my living situation I'd like to be able host once I'm settled there.

PHILOSOPHY

Value being in the moment sometimes rather than always attempting to record it and upload it on Instagram!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Japan for two years: probably my most memorable experience was attempting to cycle around Shikoku. To anyone visiting Japan - take a risk and don't just go to the cities and sites everyone says you must see (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto) - head out into the countryside, it's like visiting another planet.
