About Me
I'm a friendly out-going person, but I do enjoy my own company at times.
I am a huge animal lover, a vegetarian, an environmentalist and humanitarian.
I love learning new things, experiencing new things (so long as it doesn't harm animals, people and the planet), meeting new people and travelling.
I am currently a student, taking a gap year (or two) and am looking to find work to help fund my travels. But I am also happy to help volunteer if money isn't an issue for me.
I have many hobbies, normally you'll see a camera attached to me, I love going on walks, exploring new areas, I love reading, I quite like crafts too; painting, drawing, making things, I have a wide range of music preference, from classical to metal.
