Easy-going, friendly, curious and opened-minded, always looking for ways to learn and grow. I love getting outdoors and into nature (even more so now that I’ve spent too many years at a desk), wandering around new places soaking up the atmosphere and having good, long, deep chats. I generally have a lot of positive energy, but need quiet solo time to recharge.

At the moment I’m taking time off from my job to reconnect with the flow of life and experience / discover other ways of “doing” life. Previously I worked in commercial law doing long hours, but also spending weekends hiking, sailing and taking sunset dips at the beach.

Prior to living in Perth, I’ve lived in Germany, Sydney, The Netherlands, Germany again and Scotland, as well as Istanbul for a month.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite fiction book is Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Brontë; favourite book for a different perspective on life is Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung by Ajahn Brahm.

I love listening to and discovering music, with a soft spot for indie music, especially Aussie bands. And I particularly enjoy listening to music and reading books in different languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving the stability of my job and old life for uncertainty and adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and speaking different languages, so am always happy for a chat in any of the languages I am learning or can speak.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, deep conversation, experiences of living abroad, simple clean living / ayuverda
