About Me

All about the funny conversations where you clarify names two hours after you first met

Want a token Englishman to adopt for the evening I'm your man! 😉 Don't take myself very seriously, moving out to Canada on my IEC visa (working traveling visa). Pretty outdoorsy! I just did the Everest base camp trek in Nepal. We had a game of volley ball at 4000m with a group of monks, which was pretty cool😅. Love hiking and bouldering. Playing it very loosey goosey with veganism for environmental reasons but I'll treat myself to the occasional plate of chicken strips or burger when I fancy it. Enjoy learning really obscure phrases in other languages. Respectful guy and independent when needs be.
