Mini Bio

I grew up in beautiful Cumbria, where I spent every possible second outdoors exploring, horse riding, and climbing trees. I eventually went on to study in Leeds and spent nearly eight years getting to know the city and the surrounding Yorkshire Dales.

After getting an itch to travel, I took myself off to backpack South East Asia and South America. I made some unforgettable memories, from scuba diving with whale sharks and turtles to hiking Machu Picchu. Now I am back in the UK, you’ll often find me curled up with a book, drawing, cooking, or running (although I do admit that I am a fair weather runner!)

Favourite Place to Play

Having grown up in the Lake District, I am biased toward my home. However, I have a huge soft spot for Croyde in Cornwall, for its beautiful village and fantastic surfing. Give me the sun, white sand, and sea, and I’ll be happy.

Not a lot of People Know This

Unfortunately, I have been stung by jellyfish on three different continents. I might make this a challenge to go for all seven…
