73 Questions With Luke Sam Sowden

I’ve recently discovered the 73 Questions by Vogue Series on YouTube, and even though I think that the Videos are a little bit awkward to watch as they’re clearly staged, I love the idea of getting to know someone by them answering 73 questions about themselves. Well after watching quite a lot of them, i’ve put together my own list of 73 questions, and I thought that I would answer them for you so that you can get to know me a little bit better too.

Anyway, that’s enough of me rambling, here’s my answers to 73 questions.

me stood on some grey stone paving in front of a large rectangular window wearing a medium green jacket, a bright blue jumper, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of black Leather boots holding a long red cane, on a light background.

A picture of me holding my Red Cane.
