I work in civil engineering and I am passionate about international development, specifically water sanitation and hygiene WASH and disaster relief.

I enjoy exploring new countries and cultures and getting to know local people and having my perspective challenged and engaging in diverse and interesting conversations and stories.

I am visiting the Maldives for the 1st time, 15th to 20th of December, and would love any recommendations or tips, and would love to meet locals for coffee or food or something.

For Potential Couchsurfers:

My mum is only comfortable to host females or previous couchsurfers I've stayed with/met up with. I am now able to host during the week and weekends.

[Any couchsurfers I've stayed with or met up with in person are welcome to come to our home.] Can host from February 2025 onwards.

We have 1 spare room and a sofa-bed, and we look forward to meeting you. We would always prefer to have a brief video call beforehand so we can show you the space, make sure you would be comfortable here as well as give my mum a chance to meet you.

Things you should know:

I have a large dog.
I enjoy socialising, but due to my health conditions, sometimes I run out of energy and need to rest early.
I don't eat meat or dairy, but my mum does.

I haven't had a chance to host recently as I have been working away during the week. Now I'm working more locally. I look forward to hosting people again soon.

I can give you a travel itinerary of what to do and where to go in and around my city.
