About Us

Poi & Kirsty

We’re an English couple in our early 20’s and have been saving to clear off round the world slowly but surely. We’ve been friends since we were 16, but have only been doing it (a relationship) for the last two years.

About Kirsty

I was always planning to get a graduate job after university. However, the last four years at Aston have made me realise that life isn’t all about securing “that career”  and there is a lot more that I want to do before I settle into a 9-5 life (if I eventually get round to it).

Some interesting things about me:

Kirsty

  • I’m rarely seen without a scarf
  • I love the colour purple
  • I follow formula 1 and would love to catch a Singapore night race
  • I’m a Harry potter geek and could probably answer any question about the books
  • I read all the Twilight books in a week  –  it was a good way to distract myself from revision
  • It takes me a long time to learn even the basics of a new language – I’m not even sure I have a complete grasp of English

About Poi

To start off, I’ve had the nickname Poi since I was about 11, I don’t know why despite being asked all the time. Compared to Kirsty, I hate using and reading bullet points and I read proper books.

I am currently working full time for my local city council, the best part being I spend half the day cycling round the city. Other than that it’s just a job and I’m looking forward to the day I give in my notice, but not the day I say goodbye to the tennis ball (road bike).

I survive on a cheap diet of tuna, pasta, toast and jacket potatoes. I spend all my spare money on going out and drinking too much with my friends, three of whom I live with. Finally, I will one day marry Katy Perry.
