CURRENT MISSION

Exploring people and places, near and far.

ABOUT ME

I'm a keen traveller, and have lived in France, Spain, Peru, Sri Lanka and Kosovo in the past. Learning about other places and hearing your stories and experiences is what I always enjoy. And then going out and trying it for myself is what keeps me going!

I'm originally from the UK, but split my time between there and Kosovo. I'm currently working in humanitarian assistance/international development, mainly in the construction, spatial planning and cultural heritage sectors. I also like to keep myself busy with freelance creative projects and exhibitions on the side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Too broad, and it changes all the time!
But I'm currently reading Ivo Andric, alongside a history of Africa, and dipping into some Orhan Pamuk and Ismail Kadare.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in Peru just after an earthquake helping with the post-disaster response and recovery. Quite literally, life-changing.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to 'land' in a place, under quite random circumstances sometimes, and to set up a life there. Resilience and patience - and energy!
