Like everyone on this site, I love to experience new places! The things which excite me about places I go are the food (I think you understand so much of a culture when you go out for an authentic local meal), the scenery and especially the wildlife. I love to be near water - unsurprising really, as I practically grew up on a boat - but have yet to combine the love of wildlife and water by learning to dive.

I've also spent a fair amount of time in Africa, for both work and pleasure purposes and have explored more of South East Asia with my friends! I guess watch this space to see where else I go!

(PS, I grew up in Plymouth and now live in London (both UK))

I left the accomodation I was in on the Saturday morning and headed with all my belongings in a rucksack (the rest was at my ... read more
