About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to go on an adventure

ABOUT ME

I love going to new places and meeting new exciting people. I ve travelled/lived in Europe, Africa, and Asia, had some amazing experiences, seen some amazing things and met some truely amazing people. I've decided that the only way to get to know a place is to live there. Failing that, getting to know some of the people that live there will have to do!

***Please ignore negative feedback below, I'm not spoiled and if I can teach in Thailand, backpack East Africa alone and get an MA then I'm pretty sure that I'm not stupid. But I'll let you judge for yourself!***

PHILOSOPHY

regret the things you do do, not the things you don't do

Just living is not enough, I must have sunshine and freedom

Disciplining yourself to do what you know is important, although difficult, is the high road to personal satisfaction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a good few to pick from but my all time favourite is when I climbed Nyiragongo, an active volcano and camped at the top, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. the volcano was spectaclar but going to DRC was spectacularily reckless as the civil war kicked off again the day we left and the border shut just after we left. Still, makes for a good story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've always really wanted to learn poi and between one things and another I've never quite got round to it. so if someone would like to teach me that would be delightful. Also if anyone wants to practice their English then happy to oblige.

Countries I’ve Visited

Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Serbia, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda
