One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Ol Doinyo Lengai, an active volcano in the Ngorongoro conservation area of Northern Tanzania with a Maasai tribesman, during the night. Gazing up at the vast expanse of the Milky Way in all its beauty, on that cloudless and moonless night from the sulphurous crater was nothing short of life enhancing. As was watching the sunrise over the East African Rift Valley from the 3000m peak before descending back down to the wild savannah 👌

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my travels, great conversations and hopefully a new friendship :) I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes - most of them turn out pretty tasty! More than happy to chip in and help with any housework or help my generous host in any way I can! If you’re interested in physics/maths/programming always more than happy to share whatever knowledge I might have.
