ABOUT ME

https://www.facebook.com/matt.wills.lawford

It's not easy to describe yourself honestly, but I hope people would agree that I am very chilled out, open-minded, happy with simple things, adventurous, spontaneous and fun. I love to live for the moment and to make sure I'm enjoying each second as much as i possibly could! I make a big effort to not take life too seriously. I very rarely come across people that i don't get along with, and I talk to as many people as I can!
I dream there's more to life than being a hamster in a wheel, and im starting to discover that im right :)
i'm a maths student at king's college london with a background in essex and i also tutor maths and work on london's food markets as part time jobs.

PLANNING A BIG TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA SO SOUTH AMERICAN SURFERS PLEASE SEND A REQUEST! - need to start building the network early ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Live life as you listen to a piece of music. In the present, not thinking about what's going to happen later on in the song, just enjoying the harmony between each moment.
