CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the UK, but I now think of myself as a Citizen of the World

Currently living in Edinburgh in Scotland

I grew up in Scotland about 15minutes from the city centre and 15minutes from the mountains and lakes.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let die

There's always something to look forward to, and something to learn from somebody everyday

You are what you make of yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Running away to New York for a holiday when I was 16. Parents weren't too happy when I told them about the gunshots outside haha

Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat after dodging some landmines

Jumping out of airplanes - ME FIRST YIPPEE!

Swimming with manta rays and sharks and around an old WW2 Japanese submarine.

In Avatar, do you remember the bit when it becomes night-time and everything starts to glow in the dark? SCUBA DIVING AT NIGHT IS EXACTLY LIKE THIS

The Full Moon Party in Thailand - but you have to do it after watching Leonardo DiCaprio in the Beach

Spending a month saving the rainforest and coral reefs in the Philippines

Some great times when I was working for the BBC, which I can't ever write about :)

I vaguely remember meeting the Queen when she came to visit our school

Winning big in Vegas baby - even though I didn't know what I was doing

We were playing cards in Cambodia when we ran out of crisps, so we got given a yummy bowl of deep fried crickets in garlic. It was a bonus that we really got to practice our poker stares with the crickets haha

I popped up on the TV advertisements one evening during Celebrity Love Island, then the next day at work it felt like everyone in the skyscraper recognised me and I didn't know why.

Fancy Dress Party on the Circle Line in London, when the train goes round and round and round in circles all evening long
