Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To discover new perspectives on life, and new ways of living.
ABOUT ME
Learning new things and meeting new people are two my favourite things. I also spend a lot of my time cooking, eating or dancing.
During the 9-5 I'm a User Researcher. In short, help make the things on the internet easier to use by helping teams better understand people who are going to use them.
When I'm not at work I spent a lot of time reading, planning adventures, and going dancing. At the moment I'm also learning German and trying to set up my own business.
I love cooking for people, because I think food is an amazing way of understanding people, and deepening relationships.
PHILOSOPHY
Be open to anything once.
Give and you shall receive.
Dont live for money, live for happiness.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I regularly have surfers on my couch in London, and love taking people out on tours of London. I als like showing people that english food can actually be quite good!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've met loads of people from couch surfing, and used it as a way of finding people to talk to as part of some research I did. I've found the people to be warm open and welcoming.
Interests
Food is the thing I spent the most time thinking about. I love how it brings people together, and how it helps understand a culture. I also love cooking as a means of expressing myself.
I've been practicing yoga and meditation for about ten years, and always enjoy meeting people who practice.
Listening to music and going to gigs and clubs is a big part of my life as well. Always up for seeing new music and checking out local scene.
I also love swimming and have been getting more and more into scuba diving.
