CURRENT MISSION
Working full-time as an advisor in agriculture, more specifically within the fields of pasture and grazing on uncultivated land. Main focus: sheep and goats. My previous travel mission just ended: 11 days of town-hopping in Provence. Amazing! Next: Iceland in February, and Lao, Vietnam and Cambodia this upcoming summer.

ABOUT ME
Open, honest, adventurous and very sociable! I can be fairly direct and visible - all with the best of intentions, of course. I am also considerate and respectfull of others, I love fun-facts and new knowledge, and thrive amongst likeminded folks!

PHILOSOPHY
"The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed." -Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've surfed and travelled with people, and intend to host when I have sufficient space :) I will gladly meet up for coffee or a beer (or five!) with people who are visiting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It's all been excellent so far!

Interests

Having completed my Masters in Animal Science and Agriculture follows a concern for world food production and the many challenges we stand before. This consumes much of my thought process and I am eager to talk about it.
Other than that I am a dog person, I love the outdoors, books, friends and personal freedom, I have lots of tattoos just because, and I enjoy being with people who are non-judgemental, easy going, high-spirited and up for laughs and beers!
