Hi :) my name is Leif and from Wales, UK. I'm a former Team GB Taekwondo Athlete and into my sports and outdoor adventures. I'm a open minded and friendly person who loves to meet new people and learn more about other people's cultures. I love travelling and have travelled to 43 countries so far. I have previously solo travelled around Asia and Australia for 7 months back in 2019. I recently returned from going to a wedding in Israel and then going to visit Petra in Jordan.

I now try and get away as much as I can around my work. I work with children and young people and I'm passionate about education. I love meeting new people and socializing. I have just solo travelled around Europe for three weeks.
