Overview
About Me
Hi everyone. I'm a British guy from Glastonbury. I was a wanderer for the first decade of adulthood, but I've been in London doing a BSc in Anthropology at UCL for the past 2 years. I'm now living in Paris for a year abroad as part of the Erasmus scheme where I'll be doing Politics and Economics at Sciences Po.
I enjoy all forms of art. I love to meet people. I love live music. I've volunteered with refugees a couple of times. I'm somewhat of an activist.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all kinds of music, but have a particular interest in punk and alternative rock. I like a lot movies too; Nolan, Kubrick, Scorsese, Studio Ghibli and so on. Orwell is probably my favourite author, T.S. Elliot, Voltaire, and recently been reading a lot of Murakami, his books are wonderfully insane.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sailed from Greenland to Gibraltar on wooden sailing vessel.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach English. I very much enjoy intellectual conversation; morality, politics, philosophy, science. I've spent a couple years teaching karate too.
