I currently work in film production as a freelance sound technician but have a degree in contemporary continental philosophy. I love throwing myself into unknown situations and being out of my comfort zone - maybe because I grew up in Oxford, which is perhaps too safe and comfortable!

I believe in community but believe it is up to us to make it.

I am very sociable, love meeting new people but am not loud or boisterous. Am clean, quiet and conscientious so make a good guest!
