About

In 2002 I began to search out epals who wanted to write and possibly meet up. In 2003 I met my first epal overseas and developed a passion for travel and for writing. In 2008 I embarked on an epic world tour taking me to over 100 cities in 30 cities around the world. In 2009 I decided to chase love overseas for the final time and relocated to Beijing in China. Despite my best hopes and dreams I came back alone and disillusioned with long-distance-relationships. Having given up on life in Beijing I returned to the UK and once again found employment in a London property firm. I have currently just finished work on the first part of my travel memoirs, as well as the accompanying photobook, and am currently embarking on the concluding part.
