About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from England but have lived in Estonia for the past ten years. I live in an old university town called Tartu. There are a lot of students here and it has a very bohemian atmosphere with lots of bars, cafes, and restaurants. It's a unique place and you should definitely visit if you get chance.

I run my own business, an internet start-up which publishes online language-learning resources and apps (www.speaklanguages.com).

Music, Movies, and Books

I particularly enjoy books by William Boyd. Some of my favourite movies include The Ice Storm and The English Patient.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure I've done anything "amazing", but I'm well travelled and have seen lots of interesting places. I particularly enjoyed trekking in Vietnam and also participated in an archaeological excavation in South Africa some years ago which was fun.
