ABOUT ME

I have just finished studying Mechanical Engineering in london (great city, hard degree!) love the student life and get involved in a many activites as possible, have played rugby for many years but forced to stop after injury. I love the city for all the music, bars, sights and people. get to a few gigs mainly at brixton academy and koko in camden. Love my films and especially the spanish influenced ones, have visited spain on a number of occasions and really want to learn the language. Before university I lived my whole life in a small town near the sea in south england (near portsmouth) with my parents and older sister. I enjoy cars (i am an engineer) but travel is one of my biggest passions (from my parents and living in such a boring town all my life) I have managed to see lots of Europe and the top and bottom of africa but there are many countries I want to visit and experience. I am a non smoker..a drinker (but not an alcoholic) who is up for any adventure and new experience, I like to think I am very open minded and easy going although a strong supporter of all things British.

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to yourself

Algo increíble que he hecho

Seeing the massive whale swimming up the Thames in london last year was pretty crazy, but road trip with the family in a camper van when I was 8 from France down to Morroco and seeing the sahara was amazing experience and lucky to have at a young age.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

If anyone is particular interested in mechanical engineering I can offer and share this exciting knowledge! Also an insight into English and London life. I can cook a mean fry up.
