Inspiration
After graduating I decided to travel the world. I travelled and worked throughout New Zealand, Australia and Thailand,  and returned to the UK after a 16 month sabbatical. I continue to travel when I can, it has given me a fantastic insight into many different cultures and experiences, which I endeavour to be positively influenced by. 
I'm also a keen runner and cyclist.
