In a world where we’re more connected online than ever, real human connection is becoming rare. We text across continents but often don’t even know our neighbours. That’s why I’m on a mission to meet people face to face — to share stories, meals, and experiences with people from every corner of the world.

I’m Ash — originally from the UK, currently running a med-tech company. My work and research take me around the world, and wherever I go, I try to dive into local life — the food, culture, and people.

Travel has taught me that the best experiences come from spontaneous encounters and genuine conversations. So let’s share some stories, cook together, or just chat over coffee — you never know what you might learn!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because this platform still represents something real — trust, openness, and human kindness. I’ve been lucky to meet incredible people while travelling, and I want to give back by doing the same for others. Whether hosting or surfing, it’s all about sharing moments and helping each other along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the pandemic, I used mathematics to help a hospital manage its capacity and resources when everything felt uncertain. Working with real-time data, I built models to forecast patient admissions and guide decisions that directly impacted patient care. It was one of those moments where all the theory suddenly became real — where equations and data helped doctors, nurses, and patients in a very human way. Seeing that impact firsthand reminded me why I love what I do.

Teach, Learn, Share
