Hiiii, I'm Jess.. I love to travel and I love food! I'm a graphic designer so enjoy all things creative, I like to hang out at galleries, go to talks, meet new people, and eat/cook lots of delicious food. If I had to describe myself in three words it would be.. outgoing, optimist and caring and I like to try new things and saying yes!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently volunteered teaching English to children aged 5 to 16 in a school in Cambodia. The school was set up to give the local children a better future and to help them achieve better paid jobs. It was amazing getting to know the children and see them develop the language so quickly. It was an incredible experience that I hope I will be able to do again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking so can share some of my favourite recipes. Also I'm a designer so if anyone is looking for a bit of help on any of the Adobe software, i'm more than happy to help!
