ABOUT ME
I'm on adventure which started in New Orleans in the USA where I did a three month internship doing death penalty defense work. Now I'm taking the slow route home.
I'm pretty sure I'm fun to be around. I'm friendly and genuine and love a good chat over a cup of tea or a beer. Meeting new people and making new friends are the best bit about traveling, and so far I have been overwhelmed by people's generosity. It's pretty heartwarming and makes the world feel like a much nicer place. I'm sociable, and like a few beers as much as the next person, but I also like to see the sights during the day. I'm passionate about things - justice, politics, cooking, music.

Teach, Learn, Share
I love to cook. I have recently taken up the guitar. I know some interesting things about death penalty lawyering and "justice" in America's deep south. I am good at English if you are learning, but am ashamed that it's the only language I know.
