About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Complete a triathlon. Swim better. Learn to ride a motorbike. Travel to US, sth america and japan.

ABOUT ME

I am currently a junior doctor in York. Due to little time outside work, I enjoy meeting non-medics to stay in touch with the great big world!

PHILOSOPHY

Most things that dont scar you are worth experiencing
Life is short. Dont ponder, just do.
