CURRENT MISSION

Graduate as a qualified Primary School teacher

ABOUT ME

I like to share my experience with other people. If anybody would like to ask me about any place I've seen, I'm happy to help out.
I'm studying Primary teaching at the moment, but am a TEFL Teacher and Audio Engineer by trade. My dream is to run a recording studio and make singles / albums for a living. Alternatively, I'd like to get into film score composing. I used to write a lot of poetry and songs in my free time. I used to play in bands and occasionally still write the odd tune here and there. I spent nearly a year developing a TV game show which is currently shelved while I'm studying.

PHILOSOPHY

If someone treats me well, I believe in treating them well tenfold in return. I tend to ignore people with a negative outlook on life. Life's too short to be weighed down by them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have loved someone more deeply than I ever felt possible.
When I lost that love, I felt more devastated than I thought I could ever feel.
I don't believe anything can match this experience and I'm not sure I would want it to, anyway.
