ABOUT ME

(Update 2016 - based in London pretty permanently but get out as much as I can)

I move around the world and have this month (September 2015) quit my job as a science policy journalist in London (after 2 years), to travel for a few months. . Since finishing my studies in 2011 (in London), I've lived in Brasilia, Berlin, Brussels, Helsinki and Beijing. I love meeting new people from all around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking solo for the first time was scary at first (for the first 2 hours or so) but the people I met on the way made the trip one of the most memorable and awesome experiences in my lifetime!

...and to spontaneously quit my job this year. To travel.
