About Me

CURRENT MISSION

don't get kicked out of uni

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Matt. I'm 21, currently studying physics at university.
I am a generally upbeat person, with a quirky sense of humour. I'm not easily stressed/lazy (my music teacher used to say I was so laid back I was nearly horizontal). I'm a scout and have been in scouting since I was 6, and through scouting I've met and worked with people from all over the globe. I love getting outside, and being out in nature. I play trombone and I like to cycle and hike.

I'm keen to meet new people, try new things, explore new places and generally see what other countries are like

Also I occasionally wear strange hats.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't stress, take life as it comes, when unsure just say f*ck it. It'll work out in the end.

+Free Hugs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone to an international scout camp of 40,000 scouts from over 150 countries, and spent most of it wearing a top hat and holding a "free hugs" sign. I got on a national news website twice, nicknamed the free hugs guy, and by the end of the camp you couldn't walk 50m without seeing someone who'd made a Free Hugs sign.
Proudest moment of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can share outdoor skills, music skills.
