About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To hitchhike the South of Spain

ABOUT ME

I studied philosophy so like to have the occasional drunken and seemingly profound conversation over a glass of wine.

I used to edit a music magazine at university and so would love to learn about some new bands, and hopefully share some of my favorites with you.

For me music and football are international languages and luckily I love both.

PHILOSOPHY

St. Augustine - "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer I cycled from Amsterdam to Budapest (Couchsurfing all the way)and it was one of the best months of my life. We met so many amazing people and saw such fantastic countryside on the banks of the Danube and the Rhine.

Also for the last 2 years I have run the bulls in Pamplona. It is the greatest experience I have ever had and everyone should try it; if not for the adrenaline then for the 2 weeks of partying!

I also travelled around Thailand and Japan for 2 months last summer

Teach, Learn, Share

Run the bulls in Pamplona. It will be the most exhilarating moment of your life.
