CURRENT MISSION

To travel Europe seeing as much of my continent as possible!

ABOUT ME

I finished with school last year in June and now I'm on my gap year before I go to Oxford to study German & Italian. I want to travel as widely as I can round Europe as opposed to going to the Far East cos I believe that it's important to experience all the cultures and approaches to life on our own continent first!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a mantra to stick to cos often they're inflexible and silly so I guess I go by my own moral compass not causing harm to others, helping them when they need help etc. etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't watch a whole lot of movies but I love the Incredibles and have seen it far too many times to admit to, I love loads and loads of music too much to mention but at the moment I'm really into the Allman brothers band, Muse (as always) and a singer/songwriter from England called Johnny Flynn. I've just finished reading Gamorrah which was shocking and informative.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in a lake just off a jetty of a Rorbuer in the Lofoten Islands was pretty incredible, the water is so clear and pure....and freezing even in the height of Summer!

Teach, Learn, Share

Alfred Nobel, as in the guy who gives his name to the peace prize, invented dynamite...irony!
