ABOUT ME
I've just finished doing my final year at university in Durham, studying human geography, psychology, shakespeare and social sciences. I'm now living in London working as a junior analyst.
I love to travel in my spare time; I really don't want a tourist experience of travelling - I like to meet all kinds of people and find out about their lives and their culture.
I get really passionate about architecture and like the unusual parts of cities. I'm quite laid back and like to have long dinners with lots of talk and laughter. I love having random late nights, either visiting bars and other places of fun (!) or relaxing and chatting. Good coffee is a vital part of life.
Interests
Love sunshine and blue sky, like chatting, travelling, books, the sea, frisbee, baths, Cary Grant or Audrey Hepburn films, badminton, yummy cheese, crazy bars, beautiful cities, unusual architecture, being relaxed about life!
