Description

So... What brings me happiness? I always start off filling in these type of forms so enthusiastically and then BAM! Floored with an existential crises at the first hurdle.

I suppose this isn't really the forum for a philosophical discussion on the nature of happiness though so about me:

For the last four years i have been an aerospace engineer working in Cambridge and before that i was an airframe fitter (a mechanic for planes) for three years.

Before all that i didn't have a clear direction and so worked a wide variety of jobs including landscape gardening, factory/warehouse work, waiting tables, cleaning, cashier, kitchen porter, HVAC commissioning, labouring, car park attending, in-ground trampoline installer, marquee erector and airport security.

Although these jobs were less glamorous they gave me a lot more free time to travel the world and go on adventures with my friends. I also strangely enjoyed not knowing what was around the next corner or what life might throw at me.

Having tried both lifestyles, a free spirit digging holes for beer money & working on multi-million $ military equipment (never weapons) I've come to the conclusion that i had a lot more interesting experiences in the former.

I didn't really dislike my job as an engineer, it's more that i believe you only get one shot at life and i want to fill it with as much variety and content as possible; as at the end of the day i don't think life is about the person you tell people you are, its the things you have done and the stories you can tell.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
I would be very interested in trying to teach English abroad as i have always been curious about becoming a physics/maths teacher and i think this would be a great way to get some experience of what being on the other side of the classroom is like. When it comes to learning a language i would like to learn as much of as many as possible. However, being English i have made as much progress thus far as you would expect.

Autres infos...

I like hiking and anything really that gets you out in nature. I also love cycling, motorbikes and climbing.

I enjoy Books, TV and films; but more so talking about how people interpret them and sharing recommendations.

I love philosophy, history and politics and the long and ultimately pointless conversations that come with them. Although i can take or leave politics for the most part these days.

Additionally, I'm also really good at knitting. I was going to add this as a skill but as i cant imagine a setting where it will have any practical application I'll stick it here.
