Hobbies, Interests, Skills, and Further Information

I need travel, adventure, and photography in my personal life. I’ve travelled greatly and love to visit new destinations at every opportunity.

I’m a strong swimmer, a novice skier and I enjoy country pursuits, especially shooting. I follow UK politics, enjoy theatre and walking in the British countryside. I’ve recently started collecting (not drinking) fine whisky’s.

I’m a British Citizen from Cambridge, England and hold full, clean driving licenses for the United Kingdom and California. I hold a current and up to date Disclosure and Barring Service Check, an Irish (EU) passport and a B1/B2 USA Visa.
