Overview
About Me
After a few years of travelling and living in different places I found a home in beautiful Sheffield, where I am currently completing my PhD studies. I love being here, even the weather, which thought me an appreciation for the cold (I could have not believed myself saying that a few years back).
I would describe myself as open minded, curious, and sociable. I like being physically active (cycle, climbing, run), meditate, dance Salsa, or learn something new (currently French and playing the Tabla), and so much more. I am enjoying a long and deep conversations as much as short chats. I believe that speech is just a means of communication and connection goes well beyond.

Music, Movies, and Books
That question always gets me uncomftable because I don't know how to answer it. The concept of anything favourite is one I struggle understanding.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Volunteering for 18 Months in a school for Hindustani (Indian) classical music in rural southern India. That was a good few years ago now but it has truly impacted who I am and how I look at the world.
