About Me

Love a meaningful conversation but also a good laugh! Born and raised in England, been in London 17 years. Travelled the world but have settled in London. Love meeting new people 🙌🏼

Ambitious self-employed charity founder and life coach into psychology, personal development, healthy eating and keeping fit :) I’m a regular at London social events on evenings and weekends.

Big foodie, entrepreneurial and practising Buddhist (half English, half Sri Lankan). Into sober living; I value emotional intelligence and spending time with altruistic types. A good sense of humour is a must!

Compassion and community are important to me.

#ENFJ is my personality type ;)

PHILOSOPHY:

Protect your peace.

I don't drink or party, and wind-down for sleep around 9-10pm. So my place will not suit those who are looking to party, drinking or stay out late. I can take you to good food spots, museums etc if I have time, or to social events in the evenings, or have deep convos or watch fun stuff on TV. You will not have a key, so you will need to follow my work and sleep schedule. You will have your own small room, I am based in central London (5 mins walk from Highbury & Islington station). No alcohol in the house and quiet after 9/10pm.
