I run my own gardening business in London and I am currently training to be a gestalt psychotherapist which I am very passionate about. I'm generally interested in new experiences, expanding my horizons, learning, playing, travelling, having adventures.

I spent 11 years writing a novel. I play piano and used to be a big cyclist. Now I'm really into acroyoga with my wonderful partner.
