I love, in no particularly order: climbing mountains; wild swimming; urban exploration; cycling; discussion/debates/arguments; left wing politics; alternative lifestyles; humour that arises from situations; history (and the learning of pointless facts related to it); architecture that is fascinating and interesting regardless of the period; travelling to countries about which we hear a lot, but know very little; being as hospitable as I can, although I find this takes constant effort in the society in which we live; meeting and finding out about new people; hiking in the wilderness; trains and interesting journeys; being barefoot and wearing as few clothes as possible in the summer.

Currently working as a barrister and living on a boat on the Regent's Canal in London and trying to keep up with the former and stop the latter from sinking.

At the same time, am trying to see as much of London as I can and to experience as many things as possible.

My plan over the next few years is to save up enough to buy a piece of land and build my own house, ideally circular and out of mud.

Making people laugh, but also irritating people when I take things too far. Getting myself into bizaare situations. Trying to do something new, even if I have no idea how to. Hanging upside down on the hand-holding bars on the tube. Driving a narrow boat when intoxicated.

I'm the loud one, doing something stupid and possibly dangerous and keeping the conversation going (with embarassing stories if necessary) to avoid awkward silences...

Currently addicted to reading Sherlock Holmes stories.

(1) Some natural water, ideally in a beautiful place, to swim in.

(2) Being initimate with others, whether emotionally or physically.

(3) Travelling and exploring the world.

(4) Having new experiences or meeting new people on a regular basis.

(5) Good friends to share crazy experiences with.

(6) Wilderness to retreat to when the city becomes too much.

What the ideal political and economic system would be; death (how else can you figure out the meaning of, or your purpose for, life?); how to fix the latest problem on the boat; what I am going to say in court tomorrow; loopholes; planning my next unusual experience; how beautiful/ugly the world is and how kind/cruel people are.

Either at a house or squat party; wandering/looking down upon the streets of the city; or out in the country camped by a river or on a beach.

I think my sexuality. I should probably have told my mum before putting it on here, but there you go.

You love and are open to new experiences, are fun and have a quick sense of humour, and you like different ways of living.
