ABOUT ME

I'm a fairly laid back person, easy to get on with and am always up for trying something new.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in treating others as you would wish to be treated and generally be a decent person.

Politically I have fairly left wing views, I believe that a societies aims should be to help those who are less fortunate while still maintaining personal freedoms.

Interests

I am very passionate about music (see below)

I like to travel as well as read about the world and the many countries I would love to visit.

I also like history.

Music, Movies, and Books

I could write for a long time about the music that I enjoy, but in a nutshell I generally like fairly laid back music, especially dance music and hip hop. However I will listen to anything from jazz to reggae, from classical to rock music. Recently I have got into funk, disco and soul and is my favourite music to hear on a night out.

Favourite artists include: Pink Floyd, Parliament/Funkadelic, Arcade Fire, Nujabes, Nightmares On Wax, Thievery Corporation, Pete Rock.

Films that I enjoy include, Pulp Fiction, The Godfather parts 1 and 2, Goodfellas, One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest, In Bruges and 12 Monkeys

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is probably not the most amazing thing I have ever done or seen, but is a moment I will never forget:

Standing on the Acropolis in Athens and watching the sun set over the city with a friend of mine and a couple of people we had met in the city. I simply remember being very happy and content with life.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a teacher I believe that the aim of teaching is not simply to impart knowledge but to spark an interest in a subject (or even knowledge itself). So if you like to read about history I will suggest reading about a man called Philip the 2nd of Macedon, who was father of Alexander the great, his life is one of my favourite parts of Greek History (which I am very much a fan of). I hope that this makes you want to read about his life, and the impact it had on the Greek world.
