About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live life to the full!

ABOUT ME

I studied Psychology at uni and then went on to live in Japan for 1 1/2 years teaching english. I had a life changing trip to India 2 years ago. Now that I am home I enjoy my job as a youth worker, working with homeless teenagers in my city. Travel photography and learning about different cultures are my passions. I recently got engaged and am trying to plan a very multiculural wedding!

PHILOSOPHY

have no regrets!
