CURRENT MISSION

To settle into life in the big smoke, and keep making travel plans!

ABOUT ME

I find it problematic trying to tell people about where I'm from. I would consider myself Scottish, as have grown up in Northeast scotland, but with English parents, and having lived all over, it all gets a bit confusing

I am currently attempting to figure out what on earth I want to do with my life post-university. Whilst doing that I am making the most of the freedom to live and experience new places and so am currently spending a few months living in Padova in Italy, a beautiful city with so much to offer, and the gems of the Veneto region at your fingertips.

I love meeting new people from all over the world and seeing as many places as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take life too seriously. Make the most of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bus trip up the Manali-Leh highway in Northern India where the scenery changes from city, to hilly forest, to high altitude desert, and finally reaches the himalayas. Spectacular trip full of unforgettable memories.
