I'm 19 at the moment. I have an addiction to tea and vintage maps. I'm a nervous driver and I have a constant urge to write. I love felt-tipped pens and 1920's vaudeville blues. I am part romantic, part cynic. One day I'll be a war correspondent who goes to bed and dreams of being a traveling folk singer. But I will have no regrets.
