ABOUT ME

Confident, independent, humorous type of chap, perfectly happy in my own company but always keeping an eye out for the next adventure. If I'm on holiday, I am going to get 'under the influence' and make a fool of myself. I'll also sit and have a sophisticated chat over fine food and decent wine. Depends on the company and the occasion I guess!

I like to achieve something during my trips. Could be climbing a mountain, could be trying something for the first time, could be meeting incredible people. Quite happy to sit on a beach for the day and relax, quite happy if that beach is at the end of a motorbike dirt scramble.

Interests

My time for the last 12 months has been dominated by work and getting to know London. By 'getting to know', I mean finding new bars, helping out with YMBBT, dropping into secret cinema, hitting the exhibitions (the ball gown one at the V&A with Mother was a particular favoutrite), discovering rooftop bars and living as if money was no object (it really is).

I'm physically active and go to the gym fairly often. I haven't played rugby for a while but am hoping to start again this season. I've done a bit of hill walking in my time, snowboarding, skiing, road cycling, motorbiking, climbing, swimming and am a qualified fitness intructor. I think it's about time I learned to surf and really need to start doing some running.

Helping construct an Inuit community centre in Newfoundland in minus 35 degree conditions.

Sunrise from the top of Mount Kinabalu.

Trying to eat dinner at 'Dans le Noir' in Clerkenwell. Incredible.
