So, I need to tell you a few things about myself...I love travelling and seeing new places. I'm hoping that at some point during the next few years I can create a situation where I can leave the UK and explore the world for a little while (spend 10 months traveling a few years back, but it wasn't enough)...until then, I am content to explore London.

I studied film and, despite this not resulting in the illustrious career as a director that I was planning on, I still spend lots of time watching and thinking about films. If you are also be a film fanatic, here are a few of my recent favourites...The Visitor, Be Kind Rewind, Lars and The Real Girl, Into the Wild. Music is important to me as well. All time favorites include Eels, Led Zeppelin, Lemon Jelly, Paul Simon and Sufjan Stevens.

Other things I like: camping, diving, wandering around London, trying to learn Spanish, cooking (and being cooked for), Borough Market, Richmond park, cats and dogs, gardens, monkeys, skiing, seeing a film I know nothing about, Wii Sports, forests and woodland.

To be honest....I'm not really sure. But I'm working on it and I've got some good ideas!
