I'm a Tassie (Tasmania) boy at heart and prefer small cities over big cities. I've lived on the Gold Coast, Melbourne, London and spent 3 months living in Bremen, Germany.

I dislike smoking (cigarettes) with a passion. It's my number one pet hate. Snoring comes in a close second but if I don't hear it, I don't mind.

Love anything health and fitness related. So, if you like to train in the gym, swim, bike, run, yoga, bouldering or anything like that, I would be super keen to join. I also take cold showers all year round for the health benefits, which is no easy feat in the Melbourne or Tassie winter.

I'm a relatively light sleeper, which has helped equip me with what is termed twinkle toes and being very considerate. I am very power and water conscious also.

Furthermore, I love to learn. My recent topics of interest are war, history and philosophy. I'm not saying that I am a master of these fields, but I do enjoy learning about these topics. And, always have loved the subjects of science and maths. I can speak very limited amounts of German and Spanish.
