 Josh

Country: The United Kingdom

Age: 33
City: Manchester

Height: 1.72 m

Profession: Lawyer

About me: I love to live an active life and explore. I am very passionate about
helping others. I have recently climbed Kilimanjaro to raise money for
Children in Need charity. The climb is also being dedicated to one of my
clients that I have become very close to, who loves adventure and
mountains although unfortunately his lung function prevents him from
chasing his dreams due to the high altitude.

About me: I’m pretty new to New York as I moved here in March but I must say I
absolutely love it. I mostly define myself as a runner. I’ve run many
marathons, and hope to run many more. I love most sports, I like to spend
my weekends watching a fair dose of football. On a less serious note, I can
be often found dancing in my living room. Please note that I make no
promises about my dancing skills but I certainly have a good time.

ultimate gentleman/bad boy. No matter what happens, at the
end of the day I’ll make you smile, laugh, and wonder, “How
come I’ve never met a guy like this before??!!”. I’m fun to be
with and I like to go out a lot. If you like parties we can both
