Hi - Thanks for having a look. Brace yourself - it is a long read

So the basics: 28 years ago I was born into this world and ever since I've tried my hardest to make it all worth it. I'm well-travelled; Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Turkey, Tenerife, Germany to name a few. I spent this past summer hitchhiking all around Europe. I was lucky to have gotten to 11 countries and visited 55 cities or places. I slept in some funny places; bus stations, bushes in the kings garden's in Valencia, on the top of a cliff in Lagos (if I sat out of my tent, my feet would dangle off the edge!).… I was privileged to have met some amazing people along the way. It was a game changer I must say. I'm looking for someone to explore with and have some adventures. I'm bored of going to these places on my own now – getting to the point where I'd love to share things with someone.

I enjoy anything to do with the outdoors e.g. climbing, kayaking, fell running, bungee, cliff diving, snowboarding and simply walking up anything with a bit of a view - It's my passion and I love being in nature (not glamping - wild camping!). I do love to rough it, but it is the best chance to get to the most amazing places. I am not the type to go to Ibiza or a package holiday. I love to cook for people, especially bake… even the word "maccies" makes me shiver - it's got to be fresh and clean! I love to try new things and sea food fresh from the catch is the best. I've got 16 tattoos and a few piercings, but if I show them, I'll have to do the unthinkable and have some pics with my top off... But if you ask then I'm really not bothered about stripping off in public haha I LOVED my degree-always the top in the class so I am a proper geek I will look into doing a Masters or PhD when I'm done (but do it in Sweden if I can!). I'm very busy but loving it... I'm a "life-a-holic!" - yes I work hard (VERY!) but I do love to have some fun too! I do have a lot of time for a woman who deserves it... I'm planning on either becoming an environmental consultant or just go off travelling if I can (don't worry I will be around for another 7 months and you can always come with me!). At the moment I work in Zakopane for my best friends ski and snowboarding company (so I have some time on my hands at the moment), but I am starting to teach english too. I am also a personal Trainer, but I spend most of my time cooking, drawing and reading at the moment

I'd like to think I'm a bit of a geek! I love to watch documentaries and I always want to learn, but don't worry I don't look or act like a geek. I want someone who shares an interest in the outdoors (even if they haven't been overly adventurous in the past). I want someone who can actually hold a conversation, that will message me an email or a rant and will answer a question properly... NO: LOL, OMG or talk about those crappy shows - I will not like text language, use ENGLISH people ("u" and "r" is ok though!).
