Hello, my name is Mathew, I'm English (12.5% Norwegian), currently living in Buckingham, England. I’m a freelance writer.
I'm friendly, polite, thoughtful, and respectful.
I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends in the process.
Traveling and experiencing different countries and cultures is a passion of mine; I particularly enjoy visiting historical or beautiful places around the world.
I like to keep myself fit, I run, hike or swim.
Other things I enjoy: football, reading, learning new skills and thus further expanding my understanding of things.
I enjoy tweeting, blogging and writing in general.
