I’m a British photographer who lives in Petra with my son who will be 2 this summer 💛 His Dad’s family are a Southern Jordanian Tribal family from this region.

A bit about me- I am T-total (I don’t drink, do drugs etc) and love fitness. I am a runner, yogi and open water swimmer, now turned desert hiker! helping people explore the real Jordan with the help of my lived experiences is just such a joy.

I have a running group in Petra but honestly it’s normally just me. It’s on Facebook called “Arabian Mornings - Petra”. If you want to join me on a run, just let me know!

Deep conversations with people I’ve just met are one of my favourite parts of hosting…

If you have any fun ideas (or want some suggestions) then I’m here for it: canyon hikes, exploring Petra, camping or just sharing a chill one.

It’s often just me and my son in the house- because of this and the fact we’re in an Islamic country, you’re more likely to be accepted if you are girl/s, a couple or a family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience and understand more cultures and to help people on their own journey of exploration ☺️
