PHILOSOPHY

“"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." George Bernard Shaw

I'm originally from Devon in South West England but have been in London for well over ten years...so I can almost call myself a true Londoner.

I decided a few years ago that I don't like commuting so decided to hunt for my own place right in the centre of London. I consider myself very lucky to have found a quiet apartment in Covent Garden which has always been my favourite area. My apartment is in Zone 1, close to theatres and walking distance to many attractions such as Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Oxford Street, the London Eye, Houses of Parliament, River Thames and Buckingham Palace.

I studied economics at university and now work as an investor. I am fascinated by understanding businesses and seeing them evolve. Whilst I have a serious job, I am fairly laid back and try to make the most of life. I am very into fitness, travel and healthy living!

Мне было бы особенно интересно узнать русскоговорящих. Я пытаюсь выучить русский язык)
