About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become the fastest Geordie flamenco dancer

ABOUT ME

I am a social creature and love spending time with my friends and getting to know new friends. Travel has been a massive part of my life for a long time now, I spent 6 years before Uni working and travelling through out the world. Every summer of uni was spent exploring new places. I even lived with the Bedouin in a tent in the desert. Just arrived in Spain and I'm trying to kid myself I will put down roots here permanently but lets see!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been extremely lucky to have worked in Latin America and East Africa, I've seen so many amazing things it would be hard to pick. but a truly special moment was driving through the Masai Mara when a cheetah and its cub walked about 2 meters away from us, WOW! Another moment was when I visited Machu Pichu for the first time. We left the nearby town at 3am in order to be the first people there. We arrived an hour before sunrise and had the whole place to ourselves for about 2 hours! with the most eerie picturesque sunrise I've ever seen.
