Ellie_F's Profile

Oilfield Engineer

New Zealand and I also love to visit my friends in Myanmar

Hot air ballooning, kung fu, mountain walking, climbing. I have recently learnt to ski (indoors!) and am keen to get out into the mountains this year!

A few times a year

Love skydiving and bungee jumping!

I am a hot air balloon pilot and I like to fly whenever the weather is good. Anything else that gets me out in the fresh air also appeals. At the moment I am also keeping busy by learning Russian and how to ride a motorbike.

"Propellorhead" by Antony Woodward, "Desert Flower" by Waris Dirie, "Two Caravans" by Marina Lewycka, "To The Ends of The Earth" by Ranulph Fiennes and you can't beat a bit of Gone With The Wind.

If you are in an awkward, hideous or embarrassing situation always think "I will be able to dine off this for many years to come!"

Currently I work on an oil rig in Northern Siberia on a rotation schedule. On my days off I like to spend at least part of the time travelling and there is so much of the world I still want to see! I love eating cake on top of mountains, watching the sunset with a cold beer/glass of wine and buying kitsch and tacky things to offend my housemates in Bristol. Oh and I collect aircraft sickbags.
