About Me

I'm a Koala trainer at the West India Company! I'm not really. But this would still be cooler than my real work :-)
I recently started a long sabbatical. I left my full-time job as a consultant in a sustainability rating agency. Now I'm travelling the world, visiting sustainable/transition towns, cooking new recipes...
I'm British but grew up in Eastern Switzerland and lived the last 8 years in France.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and interesting human beings from all walks of life
To travel while spending more "humanity" and less cash :-)
To share our experiences and learning, instead of hoarding it all in some kind of lonely bubble...
