ABOUT ME

British expat in Hong Kong since Feb 2012. Many people advise you to travel while you're young and get it out of your system. Travelling when I was younger just made me want to travel further and to more interesting destinations so it was inevitable that I'd leave the UK permanently.

PHILOSOPHY

Invest your energy in finding solutions rather than complaining. Choose to define yourself by your future rather than your past.
