A rating of myself...

Ok, where do I start...I'm a mega friendly, always up for a laugh, super approachable genuine nice guy. I'm a compulsive optimistic so no matter how hard things get I've always got my head up. I love life and am truly greatful for how mine is planning out and the opportunities I have been given. I'm a team player but prefer sometimes to go at it alone, so if things go wrong there's only one person to blame. I finished uni a year ago and have spent the last year writing. I've done some stuff for Men's Health, Boots and The Guardian. Oh, and I have crazy hair. Out of 10, I give myself and 11 x

Arrogance or Confidence?

There's something about arrogant people. Most people don’t like them, but I see them as a challenge to become better than them. To show them who’s boss. I do consider my self quite arrogant, but not in a bad way, more like I’m confident in my own abilities. I know that if I was pitted against some person who’s totally up themselves I know I’ll come out on top. And if I don’t, then congrats to them. It’ll only make me try harder so that next time I won’t fail.

Most life changing experience:

My gap year I took after college was by far the most life changing experience I’ve had. It shaped me for my 3 years at University and will continue to shape me for the rest of my life. I went around Europe, across Russia to China, Thailand and Cambodia. I had so much fun and met some fantastic people, but the most important thing I learnt was to be grateful for what I’ve got. I saw tribes living in the jungle with nothing, yet they always had a smile on their faces. And here we are in England, so much at out finger tips and yet people worry about the smallest things. Seeing what I have seen and knowing that I have really appreciated it I feel has made me what I am today.

Alcoholic?

Occasionally. Who isn’t?! I’ve certainly done my fair share of partying through University , even managing to get myself thrown out of halls in my 1st year for partying too much. Whereas then I’d be drinking and partying pretty much every other night, now since graduating things have slowed down for the simple reason that ’money doesn’t grow on trees.’ I like to keep myself in good physical condition now so I have to watch how much I drink, however I do slip more often than not having a messy week and then feeling crap for the next one.

Plans for the future:

Simple - stay happy, always be optimistic and never end up in a job that I don't want to do. Currently I'm saving to move to Thailand for a year and do a 6-month Diving Internship. With that I'd love to get into underwater camerawork, join the marine side of the Police Force or just live on an island and be a Diving Instructor, perhaps one day owning my own company. It's all a mystery and it can all change in a second, but I like to think that the future's looking very bright...

Proudest personal feature:

I’m proud of my body and have no problem admitting that. Some people like art and are proud of their work, other like football and are proud of the way they play. I’m proud of my physical condition. I’ve never really gone to a gym so I have to keep myself motivated to work out and my place. I watch what I eat and try and jog as often as possible. I was at my peak when I used to row for my University and have since lost a lot of size. It doesn’t bother me though as I know I have a lot of potential. Being in good physical condition makes me feel good about myself giving me an energy boost better than any can of Red Bull.
