I'm 24 years old, half English half Belgian and I work in Oxford as an environmental consultant. In my spare time I like going to gigs and festivals, playing guitar (very badly), learning languages (fluent in French, learning Spanish), yoga, travelling and running...
I recently went backpacking in Morocco which was a real experience and should prepare me at least a little bit for the Moroccan culture. The pictures below are of me trekking in the Atlas mountains in Morocco.

Good question?! I was looking through a charity website one day and came across a guy running this crazy race through the Sahara, the more I read about it, the more I was drawn to it, so here I am! I do like setting myself mental and physical challenges and I thought that it doesn't get much more challenging than this. I just want to see how I cope with the challenges that I will face, it should be interesting to say the least. I also enjoy supporting good causes and charities, and if I can do that while completing a great personal achievement, then all the better!
