I'm a graduate from the North of England (LEEDS!) Hugely passionate about music and new experiences. I love to learn and explore and I'm on a mission to have as much fun as possible.

I left my job to travel in Feb 2014. I spent 7 months travelling in India, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Indonesia, where I climbed active volcanoes, met wild orangutans in the jungle and swam with turtles on the most beautiful beaches imaginable most mornings before breakfast!

Then I spent a year in Australia where I called Melbourne home. I also worked on a banana farm for two months in North Queendland, which was weird.

Since I'm as free as a bird at the moment I sadly can't open my doors until I'm home in the UK at Christmas, but when I do, I'll be in either Leeds, London or Manchester - the three greatest cities with the most going on, where you'll always be welcome for a knees-up!

Interests

Travel, music, learning about other cultures, writing, blogging/content marketing, good food, good coffee, nights out in awesome new cities.

And I would say fashion but almost two years of living out of backpack has temporarily halted that! I still try.

Before GRB, it was The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami (magical), before that, it was Shantaram by Gregory D Roberts (even more magical). Salman Rushdie is my favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Erm... dancing, beer, conversation, advice, and cardgames?

I also don't mind cooking.
