Hi I’m Mick and I’m from the North East of England. I’m a well travelled lad and very interested in meeting fellow travellers. I’m in to doing yoga and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I’m also a big lover of music I have wide variety of what I’m in to but mostly listen to rock, and indie. My favourite thing to do is been outdoors trekking and camping putting myself through the paces. If I have any free time I like to draw and educate myself with books and podcasts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing The Everest Three Passes Trek challenge in The Himalayas, Nepal.
By far the greatest experience of my life.
It was 16 days of trekking the scenery was mind blowing!!
I really pushed my boundaries on this trip battling it out with the cold temperatures, sickness and the altitude.
It was so humbling and rewarding especially meeting The Sherpa’s and seeing how these guys live and what they’re capable of doing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always interested in meeting new cultures, people with different backgrounds and even people who have different opinions than me.
We can all grow and learn from each other.
