About me
I have recently completed a science degree in Physical Geography at the University of Greenwich, which has a lot of relevance with my interests in travelling, sociology, different cultures and working wuth various animals - wild and tame. I also enjoy swimming, athletic activities like running and jumping and singing. Furthermore I love, of course, acting as I can channel many personalities through a variety of different characters and become someone completely different to myself.I am a happy go lucky kinda guy who enjoys many things from museums and movies to fitness and food. I also enjoy charity work. In June 2007, I completed a charity trek in Morrocco climbing the highest mountain in North Africa. It was breathtaking and very rewarding as I managed to raise £1600 for the charity Scope. Lastly, I enjoy listening to music as it was always played around my house throughout my life...besides, listening to music brings out my personality and my soul.
