Hi there, I am currently doing my PhD in Engineering and I will hopefully be finishing the thesis at the end of the year. After which I intend to go traveling around South America for 6months to a year (can't wait!!). I really enjoy running and swimming, and am currently training for Edinburgh marathon. I love trying new things and I recently learnt how to surf so hopefully will get to do it again this year (but I'm too much of a wimp to attempt it whilst its so cold here in the UK). I love skiing but tried snowboarding last year and, controversially, enjoyed it!

Good question...not sure I know the answer to this yet. At the moment the task is to finish the PhD and then hopefully move aboard for a couple of years, maybe Australia or America.

The obvious answer is engineering but other than work, I would say baking (I love making cakes, desserts etc) and generally being creative.

This is a difficulty one... You will have to decide for yourself.

Books: my favourite book is Rebecca
Movies: I love films and mainly choose comedies but also enjoy a good action or adventure film (hate horrors!)
TV: I am slightly addicted to how I met your mother but don't really watch much other TV shows.
Music: Most types and I have a really random selection on my iphone but love listening to Ben Howard and Rihanna at the moment.
Food: I like Italian and Mexican food

In the summer, open water swimming in the early evening and then out with friends for dinner and drinks. In the winter, generally in the pub keeping warm/dry.

You would like to know more :-)
