My friends say that I make things happen and I guess this is true... You will always find me working on something be it a refurbishment, gardening or a community energy project. I am at my best when I work on bringing people together to do something collectively. I love rolling up my sleeves and getting things done in a way that values every person equally. I am easy-going and love exploring new places but I am not much of a tourist-type - you won't find me sightseeing cathedrals and monuments. I mostly visit places that offer plenty opportunity for (hill) walking and have amazing people and stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning about places from people's personal stories about them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've got an eclectic music taste - love pretty much all genres when company is good! My job makes me read a lot, which for sombody who can't sit still for longer than half an hour is a pretty daunting perspective. Never ask me what I read 'for pleasure'. I won't understand you. ;-)
