ABOUT ME
Hmm, well, what would you want to know about me? Most of all, I love to hear peoples stories, traveling or otherwise, and I have a few to tell in return.
At the moment I'm traveling through southern Africa - so far I've been to Zambia, Zimbabwe and now I'm in South Africa. When I get back to the UK I'm starting a PhD in biophysics (nerd alert!)
PHILOSOPHY
If your dreams don't scare you, then they just aren't big enough

Teach, Learn, Share
Most of all, I love to share stories. At the moment, I am trying to learn about Southern African history and politics, would be great to hang out with some couchsurfing locals and hear what you guys have to say!
As for me, well, I have a pretty good knowledge of quantum physics from both a sciencey and philosophical perspective if anyone is interested in a conversation about that!
