About Me

After returning from 18 months travelling around Europe and India I've decided that I'm going to move to Prague to teach English (with a TEFL certificate) as it's such an incredibly beautiful place and to start the next chapter of my life.

I'm a qualified nurse from the UK but haven't practiced since before I left in 2015. I'm happiest when i'm engaging in good conversation, listening to good music, eating/cooking good food or having an adventure. Love playing guitar, hearing good stories, yoga and meditation, reading good books and watching good films.

Interests
I can talk all day about "free will" and love discussing ideas about science, quantum mechanics, human psychology, animals, evolution, biology, history... basically I have a wide range of interests and always try to stay curious.

The fact that we're flying through space upon a blue magnetic ball around a firey sphere of radioactivity never ceases to amaze me.

I'm currently also flying through the literary back catalogue of Herman Hesse whilst reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.

I'm a pretty easy going guy who loves a good dance and a glass of wine.

If you'd like to know anything more then send me a message.
