Born and grew up in Croydon, South London

I'm friendly, sociable and enjoy good conversation, I am totally self sufficient and happy to get to know you and socialise or do my own thing.

I also have camping gear so can sleep in a garden if needs be.

People say I have a calming presence, and I am also unrelentingly cheerful.

It has helped facilitate some the best education for me.

It enables me to travel for longer and have more fun.

It reaffirms that there are good people in the world.
