About Me

Hi, in the last few years I have finished nursing contracts working in Saudi Arabia. I have been based also in Beirut, Lebanon for the last year on and off - working with a local jeweller learning silver and gold smithing. Sadly my savings are coming to and end so I am now moving to London to work as a nurse in an emergency department in the city.

I'd consider myself quite quiet until you get to know me...... But I am kind and empathetic... I love movies, I love travel.. I love creative things.. I love photography... I'd love to get into boxing when I am settled somewhere soon.

I am half Australian half British but moved around a lot growing up (mostly in Asia) as my mum taught at international schools. I love meeting new people and having friends all over the world... potentially lame but I love visiting places you never thought you would, meeting people you never thought you would get the chance to meet, and getting the most out of both situations :)
