Outside of growing profits, I enjoy playing guitar and drums, getting stuck into a good book, walks in the woods and along the beach (both of which I’m lucky enough to live near!), and travelling in my self-build campervan (Instagram).
I’m in Norfolk, UK – a beautiful combination of coast, woodlands and city, even if it is a bit flat!
