About Me

Hello, I live in London and work on the BBC News website. Originally from Eastbourne but went to university in Sheffield - and loved it up there. Spent 2 winters working in ski resorts (France and Colorado) also then the 2 summers inbetween teaching English to European kids.
Moved to London town and lived in a student hostel with loads of interesting foreigners. Spent 2 and a half years there and had some times I'll never forget. I love the outdoors - especially snowboarding and the mountains. I love the freedom. There's nothing better than boarding on a fresh dump of snow with blue skies overhead. I also did the London marathon in April - which was a cool experience. br
