OK, here goes. My biggest passion in life is sports. I love cricket and commentate for local BBC radio on it several times per year, but rugby, tennis, baseball, ice hockey and Alpine skiing run it pretty close. I'm not as big on football(/soccer) but I still try keep up to date with it. I've recently got into watching the NFL and Golf. I also like to ski, but live in the wrong country to do it regularly. Anyone into any of these things need not worry about conversation topics!!

I love travelling as well, especially finding interesting places off the beaten track. It's great to experience the attractions, history and food of other countries. My country count is 27 so there's still a load more I want to see! Also very much enjoy being a tourist in my own country, particularly trying to find things to do in London I haven't done before.

I'm a quarter Swiss so it would be really great to talk to people from Switzerland. I loved South Africa when I visited a few years, and I hope to go again very soon, so anyone from there would be great too. I'm not fussed where you're from though, as long as we have things to talk about!

I love trying food from all over the world, visiting museums and art exhibitions (not the "installation" or "shock value" kind...!) and spending too much of my time doing random geography quizzes.

I don't care if you're not into sport, I just like having a good conversation! So just write to me, with preferably more than just a "hey" and we'll take it from there!

Please don't apologise about not speaking very good English, it just makes me feel bad about not being able to speak many languages myself!! Also, I'm on this website to make friends rather than to exchange or teach people languages. I don't really do skype either.
