I grew up in the South East of England, UK where I studied photography. After college I worked on cruise ships as a photographer and got to travel to many exotic places around the world like the Caribbean, Bermuda, USA and Europe. This was such an amazing time of my life and I would certainly recommend working on cruise ships if you are good with people and like to travel.

Next I found myself living in Helsinki, Finland. Another fantastic place with wonderful people. Here I learnt website design and starting getting more into technology. After nearly 4 years it was time to return to the UK.

I worked with some great companies in the IT sector and my job varied from designer, marketing manager through to sales director of my own agency. In 2012 I decided I wanted a new start and formed my own company providing business support and consultancy. I've been doing this ever since and it's brilliant. Being your own boss is amazing and allows you lots of freedom.

In 2015 I moved to Cluj-Napoca, Romania to be with my then girlfriend. Sadly, we broke up after 4 months but I decided to stay and make Cluj my new home. I'm now lived there for over 2 years. It's certainly worth visiting if you are ever in Europe...

Now we get to the exciting part! In August 2017 I bought a one-way ticket to Malaysia with the plan of travelling around for a while to see new places and meet new people. At the time of writing this I've visited a few places in Malaysia, Borneo and currently Taiwan. Next up on my list with be Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand... Watch this space!
