About Me

Moved to Bolulla (northern Alicante province) in early 2023 because I love the countryside and want to create a permaculture project and find a rural community here. I love being outdoors (hiking, gardening, running, cycling), making music, eating good food and meeting new people. Always happy to meet for coffee / drinks; I might be able to host... if my cat agrees :)
