Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Find a mission. Eat strange things. Take memorable photographs. Buy a motorbike. Consider what life is like 'settled down'. Move to Japan.
ABOUT ME
still deciding which part of the jigsaw I am in this vast landscape of the world.
I work hard, play hard, am a dreamer, planner and am sick of living life in the passengers seat. Each day I try to do incredible things with incredible people.
In short... love taking photos, enjoy street food a little too much (thank you iron stomach), get frustrated I'm not bilingual, prefer outdoors, want new music, can't dance, am obsessed with home stays, markets, real life people, living a completely different life to the one I lead back home.
PHILOSOPHY
Humans are always in transition, always moving, always seeking, always feeling, hurting, breathing. Until one day it stops. Everything in between is the most important parts of our lives because in an instant it is gone. The people you meet, the stories you share, the experiences you have; these are what you remember before it all goes away.

Living in a village in Bangladesh. One off life changing experience, with people I remember everyday.
Teach, Learn, Share
"On that trip I learnt something very important. Escape through travel works. Almost from the moment I boarded my flight, life in England became meaningless. Seat belt signs lit up, problems switched off. Broken armrests took precedence over broken hearts. By the time the plane was airborne I’d forgotten England even existed." - The Beach, pp. 115
