I’m originally from the UK but I’ve lived in various countries including Holland, Hungary and Greece – mainly because of work and University.

I love travelling – I’ve been to most countries in Europe and across America. I speak ok Portuguese, some Spanish, as well as a little bit of Finnish.

I’m definitely someone who always sees the positive in any situation, or at least can find something constructive. I suppose there are two distinct sides to me, one that’s a little eccentric that enjoys pure, simple fun, but also a more serious side that wants to develop and find new experiences! I enjoy being with someone whom can appreciate both aspects.

I love music, my taste varies quite widely. Socially, I would say I'm happiest sitting around a table in a nice cafe/restaurant with good food and good company, just enjoying life!

I'm quite passionate about keeping fit and go to the gym 3-4 times per week, this is mainly driven by the fact that I find it a good way to relax and clear my mind after a stressful day at work. I also enjoy hiking and skiing - which I've been lucky enough to do at some great places in Europe and America.

My ideal match is somebody who loves to travel and see new places - but also someone who likes the joys of home! She is a caring and romantic lady, who is genuinely affectionate - essentially someone who understands the balance between being cared for and caring for someone else.

In no particular order...
