About Me

New adventures are always great. Love to grab new experiences and put them under my belt.

Graduating from Mancheter Uni pretty soon. I was lucky enough to do an laboratory internship in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand which was the best year of my life. I loved living in a totally exotic place.

Working as a Lifeguard in New York over the summer 2016 for disadvantaged kids. Eager to explore America after I finish.

I am a rock climber- favourite climb ever is the 7a Anxiety State Crisis Cave at the Crazy Horse in Thailand (One of my photos). I also enjoy skiing, scuba diving and kayaking and am training to be a skydiver here in the UK (Once I find the funds haha).

I spend all my money on flight tickets... which I think is a better investment than anything else.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies that make me think really hard such as cloud atlas, seven and american history x. My favourite music is mainly hiphop, a little rock and the old school stuff my dad used to play in the car.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Off the top of my head...
Climbed Mt. Fuji in a typhoon to watch the sunset.
Helped put out a 'smallish' forest fire near my condo in Thailand.
Electrocuted myself in a Japanese onsen.
Eaten ant eggs in Issan, Thailand.
Hospitalised myself at least once each year since I was born (21 so far... fingers crossed)
Climbed State Anxiety Crisis Cave in Chiang Mai (7a level)
Wheelied a motorbike the first time I rode it (Accidentally)
While in the air cadets I piloted a small aircraft and have fired a L98A2 assault rifle (Not at the same time)
