An English born, Irish passport-holder raised in Scotland and living in London - but with a view beyond the city limits. Full of joie de vivre, and a devout thirst for knowledge, born of the fact that time is not slowing down ? an eclectic mix of architecture, history and art + geeky things. I am a terrible bore at dinner parties.I have been lucky and privileged to be able to do pretty much what I want in life from learning to SCUBA dive, skydive, and ride a motorbike (including a great session with the European stunt champ), climb abroad and although I am currently rooted in one place I had wanderlust bred into me from an early age so I like to get away to soak up another culture (or just pure relaxation - diving or snowboarding) often - be it Oman, Tanzania, South Africa ... or an annual road trip across Europe.
