About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet and help people new to England, maybe introduce you to some people to make your stay more pleasant

ABOUT ME

I really started travelling on my own at 18 I went backpacking every year until I was 27. I used to hate staying in the same place too long and moved around every 9-12 months since I was 18 - but now have settled in London and have a wife and 2 baby girls who I adore. I have a 2:1 degree, done about every job you could think of, and now work as a Director of Operations having previously been a leadership coach for a private company for a few years. I love my family and friends, travelling, trying new things and food, drinking and partying, hate violence and love life. Really like meeting new people and opening myself to new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

'Judge me on what I didnt do', I even have it tattooed on my arm, damn...

Music? Anything except drum and base. Eminem, Stereophonics, Gomez, Oasis, Placebo, Jay Z.
Books? Im not a great reader but I love 'Of mice and men', 'A thousand Splendid Suns', 'Annapurna' and Lee Child or Dan Brown novels, although pretty poorly written, are fun to read.
