About Me

I am obsessed with experiencing as much the world has to offer.
Our family moved around when I was a child and I think it instilled a nomadic trait in me.
I'm currently exploring the United States, settled in Las Vegas for the last couple of months but imminently headed to the east coast.

Interests

I have two main passions in life; travelling and staying active. The former has been instilled in me from an early age as my dad has a similar passion and has been fortunate enough to see so much. Listening to him recall his various fascinating anecdotes gave me the desire to live my own life in a similar vain. I am only 25 but have seen a great deal already and I plan to see a lot more!

Another passion of mine is staying active. Since I can remember I have loved playing sports of all kinds, rugby, football, athletics, basketball, you name it I've played it. Of course now I'm on the move so often I can't really find the time to play organised sport but I still try to exercise most days wherever I can. Additionally, I am a qualified personal trainer so if you are keen for me to put you through your paces at some point then I'd be more than happy to accommodate!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a fairly eclectic taste in music all I ask is that it is emotive. I believe musical greatest attribute is its ability to move you in one way or another. That said, I predominantly listen to acoustic music; James Bay, Jack Johnson, Newton Faulkner to name a few.

I love movies but to name one favourite is near enough impossible. Pushed, I would have to shortlist True Romance, Notting Hill, Up (actually any Pixar movie) and Gladiator.

I'm currently reading Shantaram which is brilliant but making me want to move to Mumbai desperately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I realise multiple amazing things is a little self indulgent but here goes...

I competed on a British television programme that put 30 civilian men through the SAS recruitment process, I managed to reach the final 3.

Cycled from London to Paris last summer in less than 30 hours.

Involved in the Rio carnival as a Dancer for a samba school and was fortunate enough to samba through Rio's Sambadrome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a qualified personal trainer and have a passion for staying active and healthy. If my host was willing I would love to train them for an afternoon and show them some circuits they could utilise once I have left.
