Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am somebody who is motivated by the idea of new adventures and making a positive impact in other peoples days. I am energetic, smiley, and easygoing.

I currently live in my flat which I have been renovating myself over the past year with skills learnt from my job in construction.

I am motivated by spending time experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and exploring different cities. I want to spend the next part of my life exploring Europe & USA, making new memories, whilst taking to time along the way to help out and volunteer to make a positive impact in other peoples lives.

I find happiness in developing meaningful relationships with people, in addition, I find happiness when spending time alone outdoors in nature. I really enjoy all kinds of sports and outdoor activities. Most recently I have been sky diving near my home town which is something I want to try again soon in a new location.
