Hey, I'm Lennie. I'm from Manchester England and am a software developer by day, and by night I do all I can to not act my age!
Music is my life. I sing in an electro-pop duo and love writing songs and performing live
I go to festivals as often as I can afford to (and my body can cope with) and love going to gigs.
I have an obsession with the Spanish rock group Vetusta Morla, and spend a lot of time trying to find cheap flights so I can go and watch them on tour...

I studied Maths at uni and also have a masters in Mathematical Logic (GEEK!)

My other passion is learning Spanish and I am constantly looking for people to practice with (and constantly planning holidays to Spain). I've been learning for about 3 years. My favourite thing is to combine both of my loves and sing in Spanish, especiallly if it's Vetusta Morla

I'm also a big fan of eating/cooking/restaurants, wine and drinking in general, reading and cinema.
Also love travelling to new cities, hiking, ANYTHING INVOLVING THE SEA

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving a campervan across Northern Spain from Vigo to San Sebastien with my boyfriend, AMAZING trip - boat trips and beaches, waking up to sea views from the back of the campervan, hiking in the Picos de Europa, paddle boarding in the Mundaka estuary etc.
Was mainly proud of myself for driving the van all that way without crashing it :-/
