Hmm what to say. I’m someone who values slowness, humour and depth. I don’t love big social gatherings - I prefer smaller groups and 1/1s. Connection is really important in my life - to other people, to myself, to nature, to what I’m doing. When I feel disconnected I tend to get anxious, distracted and lonely - while when I’m more connected I tend to be more appreciative, present and creative.

I’ve spent most of my life working full time in social start ups and charities - I’m taking a break at the moment to focus on other things beyond work.

I enjoy coffee (and reading in cafes), theatre, forests and mountains, rivers and oceans. I like to write sometimes - although I’m quite self conscious about my writings. I’m a part time therapist and coach, and run workshops for small groups focused on how we can connect more honestly with one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet people in the places I visit - to have genuine connections.
