ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, sharing stories, experiencing new cultures, learning new skills, being spontaneous, going out of my comfort zone, finding new music, playing the piano, playing football, playing some more football, trying new food, travelling, hitchhiking, being challenged, going against the grain; i want to live a more open life!

Born in Hertfordshire where I was brought up until I was 9 then we moved up to Manchester - very much a mixture of North and South! Studied in Sheffield and now live in Hamburg after moving out last September. Very much enjoying life abroad..

PHILOSOPHY

Try something new.

Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly.
