About Me

ABOUT ME

My base is currently in Leicester, UK - and am a Graduate Medical Student at the University of Leicester.

Right now, I am cycling with a friend from Leicester, through France to Switzerland. We are looking for fellow Couchsurfers to host us along our stay! We are very happy to return the favour in the future!

I have lived in Edinburgh throughout 4 years of University, followed by 3 years of mainly working in London.

I've a preference for warm tropical climates, having travelled to Far East Asia, Africa and the Southern Mediterranean many times.
