About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting good, fun and decent people to enjoy Edinburgh with for the next 6 - 9 months

ABOUT ME

Hi,

I recently return to the UK after travelling overseas for almost 2 years including a year in Australia and backpacking around Asia for 8 months' (India, Nepal, Burma/ Myammar, Cambodia etc) .

It's been an amazing experience however now I'm back to UK and living in my favourite city I'd up for making the most of it by meeting decent people to go out with and enjoy/ make the most of Melbourne.

I'm easy going, considerate, out-going and always up for trying new things and meeting new people.

In terms of interests, it really varies - playing football, watching movies/ cinema, cooking, cafes/ pubs/ clubs and trying different random classes - such as learning Irish, Drama (comedy), Salsa dancing, whatever's good.

If you'd like to get in contact then that would be great.

Best,

Paul K

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The past 8 months' have been amazing - backpacking around Asia.

Paragliding and Scuba Diving were 2 awesome experiences as was Universal Studios, Singapore and another theme park in Vietnam.

Canyoning/ Abseiling and mountain biking in Vietnam were good days out. Trekking in Myammar/ Burmese countryside and up near the Himalayas in Nepal terrific experiences too.

Next stop NZ and Oz! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone can be interesting if they're decent, open, and easy going. I don't need to get something out of people though probably like best people who are up for trying new sports, activities, seeing new things/ places as well as just hanging out on lazy afternoons
