CURRENT MISSION

Live ethically and in balance while seeing and learning EVERYTHING

ABOUT ME

I have been vegan for 8 years with raw tendencies. Love cooking/preparing food, particularly for friends and flatmates. Work a huge amount, but in downtime I love going to the cinema, watching bad TV, reading contemporary philosophy/fiction and making zines on ms paint! Love cycling, making and people.
