What is your favourite restaurant in Manchester?
El Rincon is a beautiful tapas restaurant just off Deansgate. It does delicious Spanish tapas and has a great atmosphere. Dining there transports you to Spain for the evening.

What is the achievement you are most proud of?
Completing the 4 day trek to Macchu Picchu in Peru was gruelling, especially at such a high altitude, however when I got there it was definitely worth it and I was proud that Id made it in one piece.

Tell us an interesting fact that nobody knows about you? 
I did a skydive at 15,000 feet over a glacier in New Zealand.
