About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to live more virtuously.

ABOUT ME

I'm a mental health practitioner from Leicester. Currently on an 18 month career break to travel and volunteer, meet new people and learn new ways of living. When I'm not working I enjoy music, fitness and reading - all three help me to relax. I'm currently learning to play the ukulele and hope to commit to learning Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

'The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.'

Music, Movies, and Books

I have quite a diverse taste in music. I like artists such as Fleet foxes, Dry the River, Bonobo, Jack White, The black keys, Kings of Leon. I also like a lot of Blues and Reggae.

A few of my top reads have been Shantaram, Half of a yellow sun, A thousand splendid suns and on the road.

I love film, not keen on action movies or horrors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
