I'm a south Londoner, born and raised. Although I've had a brief stint living in Sheffield whilst at uni, which I loved.

I like to be physically active, love walking, running and generally keeping fit. Helps me vent some of the excess energy I don't get to expend at work.

I am passionate about food and like to try my hand at mastering new cuisines. I particularly enjoy baking as I have a wicked sweet tooth and like to inflict it on others. Somehow I have managed to acquire all of the associated paraphernalia (who knew you need a specialised rolling pin for icing?). I really enjoy trying out new techniques and impressing friends with my baking, I have been known to be quite competitive with it!

Currently I am working in central London as a Town Planning Consultant. All anyone needs to know my job is that it basically involves a disproportionate amount of paper shuffling and bossing architects about!

Outside of work, I am keen on exploring new places and am particularly looking forward to visiting Mexico in September to meet up with couple of mates who have moved out there. I am not a massive fan of beach holidays/sterile all inclusive breaks. I just haven't got the capacity to lie around all day. I've got to get out and explore, trek and discover new places for myself. I'm also fascinated by architecture generally, so regular city breaks are essential.

In terms of other long haul trips on the (somewhat distant) horizon, one place I am dying to visit for some time is Canada, such a stunning country. I am also desperately trying to save enough money for that elusive mortgage deposit, which has somewhat constrained my inclination for travelling.

Other than running etc. I am also about to take up ballet again after something like a 13 year break, which will probably be highly amusing for all involved.

Food mainly and finding true love!

Not exactly private but I have braces on my top teeth. Obviously not the sexiest of looks I know, but it won't be for long.

You're active, can be a tad romantic when the mood takes you, are relatively out-going and are familiar with sarcasm.
