I was born in the midlands but spend most of my life living in Cheshire and the North west, I'm very outdoorsy, a big foody, and very chatty and passionate person, but also not uptight. I'm pretty easy going and can chat on most subjects with most people. Good at finding some common ground, but always enjoy a lively, friendly debate if desired and never take it personally. Politically i'm a libertarian, all about people being able to live their lives how they want.
Dog lover, Bit of a sucker for a good cocktail.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed up a tree and cut off a 15kilo piece of chaga (medicinal fungus) and "anted" it out of the forest on my back for about a mile, I thought it was pretty amazing, my body didnt.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am professional foraging and wild food guide, running my own business, I can show people how to identify edible wild plants, fruits, nuts, herbs, and fungi etc and how to use these for food and medicine. I also know plenty of bushcraft type skills etc too.
I enjoy cooking and happy to pitch in and cook for people who I stay with
