About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn about as many different cultures and ways of life as I can

ABOUT ME

Hallo! Hello! Ciao! Salut!

I am 22 years old. I come from the UK and I love music, sharing stories and exploring new cities.

I love surfing and hosting and have had some cool CS experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Let the rhythm of life lead you to where you want to go! (Me)

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page (St. Augustine - bit of a dude)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up to the Belledonne mountain range every morning. Seeing the Grand Canal in Venice, skiing for the first time and not flying of the edge of the mountain, sailing around the coast of Brittany in a wooden boat!

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages are important. I recently learned thisf rom UNESCO:

plus de 50 % des langues du monde perdent des locuteurs. selon nos estimations, 90 % d’entre elles pourraient être remplacées par des langues dominantes d’ici
la fin du XXIe siècle.

I want to study this and help people maintain these languages. We should learn about cultures totally alien to our own if we have the means to and keep those cultures and their languages alive.

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In
