Travel, Salsa dancing, writing, music, new experiences

I have travelled to numerous countries and experienced many different cultures. From trekking in the Nepali jungle to the rugged landscapes of Iceland. I have enjoyed working on a cruise ship and danced in festivals in Kuala Lumpur.

I enjoy new experiences, I love change and am not afraid to try anything. Music is big in my life covering most genres which also goes hand in hand with my dancing. I love the spoken word and using the correct grammar is important to me, both spoken and written. I pride myself in giving 110% to everything I do and have a commendable work ethic.
