About Me

I'm about to set off cycling Leeds to France.

I lived on a canal boat for a few years.

I lived in China for 4 years and speak bad Mandarin.

I have lived in a few other places and travelled to 50 or so countries.

I like animals (especially cats).

I studied physics for 10 or so years.

I want to be a drummer but have never lived anywhere where I can get a drum kit. Always keen to jam.

Currently between jobs with no clue what comes next!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode an electric scooter across China alone once, from Chengdu to Vietnam. Then in Hanoi bought a motorbike and rode it to the south of Vietnam. Definitely my most interesting trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning anything new. Maybe I can teach guitar?
