  • Description

    Not sure how to write short summaries about myself in a short paragraph but here goes:
    I'm British but half Greek,
    I'm a full time engineer,
    and I've been trying to learn Greek for a very long time (and failing miserably)

    I'm looking to try experiences and opportunities that contrast my normally organised and structured everyday life as well as helping me to become more laid back and spontaneous. Whether that's working outdoors doing manual work, helping to look after animals or working on constructing a building, I'm interested in learning new skills and how other people approach everyday life which could help me in learning to approach things in a more calm sense. Always happy to get stuck in and as I'm very active, you might find it hard to stop me!

    All joking aside, I am looking to try new things, do some travelling, meet new people and just try a live a more laid back existence both in and out of my work. I'm excited (and a little nervous) to see where this leads me...
