CURRENT MISSION

To go out and see the world, discover life and myself

ABOUT ME

Hi guys! I'm an outgoing, chilled person who's up for new experiences and making the most of life. I'm really easy to get along with, very sociable and am into swimming, running and other sports. As a linguist I'm also interested in languages and work as a freelance translator. Up for nights out, new experiences, and good times! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Make every second count. Can't say I've always lived this philosophy as much as I'd like to but am certainly trying to follow this now!

Intereses

Obviously I’m hugely into travel. I am also a keen runner, from shorter distances up to marathons, and a member of a local club here in London. I love the great outdoors and recently hiked up the 3 tallest peaks in the UK in 24 hours as part of the 3 peaks challenge. I love art and culture and regularly go to museums and galleries here in London. I’m a big foodie and am also vegetarian.
