Who am I?

My name is David and I am from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the UK.

I’m twenty-two and have decided to go on a big long walk to clear my head.

I’ve got a master’s degree in medieval literature. I wrote a thesis which attempted to synthesise postmodern text theories with late medieval religious practice and belief.

I voted Remain but don’t speak French or Italian.

I’m a vegetarian who’s nervous about turning down monk meat.

I usually don’t like going places slowly. I jog up escalators and am generally happier on a bike.

I’ve decided to walk this time.

If you’re interested in the more academic side of my writing I have two papers on academica.edu.

My twitter and instagram handles are @davidjpmatthews.
