James Allan - Guest editor

James Allan, 25, is a freelance education consultant who lives in Hackney in London.

Originally from Oxford, James is currently trying to live without cash for a year having taken a vow to his friends and family to be cash free for at least a year, following a bet not to use anything with the Queen’s head on it. This includes all bank notes, coins and stamps, instead he only has his Visa card to pay for purchases.

Always looking for an adventure, James spends his evenings with friends seeing bands, lectures, plays and films – using London for all it is worth.
