I am currently on a one-year sabbatical from work, hoping to make it 100 countries before the end of 2023.

My best friend Jack and I will be traveling for the next month.

I studied my masters in Sports management at University of Stirling.

I'm 27 and a marketing graduate from the University of Strathclyde Glasgow. I am a huge sports fan and keen traveler.
