ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people, and especially love travelling with a purpose (work or play). Over the last couple of years I've been exploring the UK more as I am trying to cut down on air travel.

Although a city dweller, I am excited about nature, the grass beneath my feet, the ocean, mountains and walks with huge views.
I enjoy the usual things, music - live and unusual, exciting contemporary art, picnics, being busy and having throwing myself into the unknown. I care about people and the environment and try to get involved in activism where I can.

I am currently living on a tiny boat, although its beautiful its too small to host. I am however happy to show you around NE London or Birmingham depending on where I am in the week!

PHILOSOPHY
