About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience as much of this world as my little feet can carry me to, and hopefully make some new friends and bring some more love and laughter into the world.

ABOUT ME

I didn't know what to say so I asked a few friends, here are their responses.

1 - trustworthy, honest, hardworking, friendly, loyal.
2 - smart, passionate, funny, quirky, stubborn.
3 - caring, funny, supportive.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in kindness for kindness' sake, and that we need more love and respect for each other in this world.

Interests

My greatest loves are music and food. I also like art, in particular contemporary and street art. I enjoy seeing new things, and have lately put myself on a mission - trying to experience as much as I can, wherever I may be.

Books - Shantaram and Norwegian Wood are probably my favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really like animals so having the opportunity to feed and pet a hippo, and also walk in a tank of sharks, stingrays and fish have been very exciting experiences for me.

Sziget Music Festival 2011, spending a week with my friends camping on an island, seeing bands from all around the world perform... One of the best things I have ever done.
