About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking to spice up University life by meeting any travellers going through Durham.

ABOUT ME

I am a student at Durham University living in rented accommodation. I study Natural Sciences and enjoy sports and music. I also have a big passion for travel and foreign culture, I am currently learning Mandarin and working for a charity in Burma.

PHILOSOPHY

Take action without intellectualising things too much,
