My name is Leon, I am 34 years old and am usually based in the city of Brighton & Hove, but currently working in Brussels, Belgium and been here since December 2007.
Brighton has the sea, nightlife, 650 bars, lots of interesting/unique restaurants and countryside of the south downs.
To be honest I would not live anywhere else in England, if I move away it will be to another country.
I fancy living in Amsterdam and Prague for a while.
My long term dream is to have a summer house in Barbados or Antigua, a winter house in Norway or Canada and a nice house in the Brighton area
I have two lovely children Cammy and Skye who are 14 and nearly 6, it shocks me sometimes that two such cute girls came from me lol.
I like to relax at my home on the outskirts of Brighton in Portslade village, or with my friends and family anywhere.

Other Mad stuff When I was 18 I passed my private pilots license and currently thinking of getting back into flying as a friend of mine has just become a full time pilot out of Heathrow.I have also done a parachute jump and was planning to train to be qualified as a freefall jumper. Fancy base jumping of a high bridge!
While I was out in Cuba I did two shore dives with one of them reaching 14metres and will be completing my PADI open water diver course in England with Clare.
