About Me

Currently travelling around South America. Looking to meet up with people who are interested in following developments for the UNFCCC - COP20 in Lima, Peru.

CURRENT MISSION

To appreciate being free, to travel and gain new knowledge/things/situations/people to appreciate

ABOUT ME

Open minded, like to chill, like doin stuff - active & fun things, like exercising my mind, like thinking, like being outdoors, liking trees, mountains & other landscapes, like food, like exploring, being random and meeting new interesting people...

From studying my BSc in Bristol, I went to live & work in Canada for a year - following this adventure, I went back to Bristol to live for a while, then I had another year or so off, to explore parts of Europe, Asia and Australasia. When I returned I spent short amount of time over in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, before moving back to Bristol and then onto Edinburgh, where I completed my Masters.

Now I've joined the world of work, so I'm saving up for my next epic adventure...

PHILOSOPHY

I don't take life too seriously, I like to appreciate many things! I love Mountains and I need them in my life, I also believe we need to look after the earth and it will look after us, it's a simple respect thing :D

Karma's the way forward...
