One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leading the gold medal winners for Gymnastics and Basketball to their podiums for the London 2012 Olympics was definitely amazing.
Last year I travelled the Trans Siberian railway from Moscow to Beijing, stopping off in Mongolia.
I used to drive a buggy around the gardens of Buckingham Palace, and very recently got lost inside, ended up in a maid's bedroom.
I had a really exciting trip round the world in 80 days with my friend a couple of years ago. We went through Laos, Australia, where I left my passport in the airport pick & mix, ate our way across the USA, came on a drunken flight through Dublin on St Patrick's Day and finally landed in the wrong airport in England.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know things like how to make chocolate brownies and I'm really good at crepes. I can play some simple things on the piano and am a very patient teacher if you want to learn. Any advice on growing beetroot would be appreciated, mostly don't be worried if you haven't got anything to 'teach' its just nice to meet new people and share your stories and relax a bit, I know travelling can be really tiring as well as the most amazing experience.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Cambodia, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam
