About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel to as many interesting places as possible, hopefully to meet fun and outgoing people who are up for a good time!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Germany and lived there with my family until being shipped off to boarding school in the UK at the age of 14. Since then I have completed my BA and MA at the University of Manchester, worked in the UK, Germany and Switzerland for various stints and am currently based in Orlando, Florida.
I LOVE travelling (who doesn`t on this site??) to all four corners of the world, especially to places where I can learn or improve upon existing language skills. I am easy going, always up for a laugh and get on with pretty much everyone I meet!

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing in life lasts forever!

Confidence comes from making mistakes. The more mistakes you make, the more you know what not to do....

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!
