About Me: I am currently enjoying life as a vagabonder, travelling the world and seeing where the next job and desire will take me.

I have already spent 8 months living in Kenya, 6 months in America, 3 months in Poland and 15 months in London. I have enjoyed a role of different jobs including helping disabled people improve their food security in Kenya and teaching English in Poland.

The next stop on my travels is South America, where i will be spending 1 month in Costa Rica, 2 weeks in Peru and then 1 year in Ecuador, where again i will be teaching English. After that it is anybodies guess, but i think Asia may be beckoning!

I have also just completed my masters degree in Sustainable Development and also a TEFL diploma, so hopefully these qualifications will allow me to continue to travel and learn from cultures all over the world.

For some crazy reason i also have a sadistic pleasure for running marathons, having ran 6 marathons and 4 half marathons including marathons in London, Berlin, New York, Chicago and Edinburgh. During this time i have raised a fair bit of money for charity, which makes all the pain seem worthwhile.

When not on the road, i like to listen to as much music as possible, and i have also just received a book deal, writing short stories about my travelling exploits, which will be published to help students in Poland learn English. This should keep me occupied for the next few months!

My dream is to become a travel writer, but there is little chance of this happening! It would be nice to hear from people with similar interests! Feel free to follow my travels through IgoUgo.com.
