About Me

Not sure which bit I'm updating but no matter. Originally born in the sunny sea-town of Shoreham-by-Sea I grew up mainly in Worthing until I was moved to Portugal at the age of 12 where I did a lot more growing up. I then returned to the UK for university purposes and have stayed up in Leeds since graduating a while ago. I am now about to start a PhD in the development studies bit of the uni. I have friends on MySpace already and wanted to write to them so I joined.
