CURRENT MISSION

To surf!

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 and grew up in Winchester in the South of England. I love music, and spend far too much money on going to gigs all over the country. Graduated from Warwick University in Psychology in summer 2009. Recently back from a years travelling around most of the world - I've settled back to Leamington for a little while working in a children's nursery and in music promotion.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't find yourself sat wondering why you let a moment pass you by. Live in the moment.
