About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am completing two marathons, firstly by the Niagara Falls, then in New York. I'm then travelling by train from London to Tibet

ABOUT ME

For the past four and a half years I was living and working in Bristol, (England). Recently, I decided it was about time I packed my bags, so I could head off into the wilderness. I'm currently taking some time out to travel and see some great places.

I initially studied Philosophy and Sociology at Southampton University and then I completed a one year law course at the University of the West of England.
