My long term aim is to set-up an intentional community. This is a grand aim and I have a lot to learn!

I love bringing people together - it brings me great joy to organise and host social gatherings. I'm currently seeking to discover new ways to do this and work toward the community.

I am the founder of www.towardcommunity.com and am helping to establish a community in Alentejo, Portugal - http://www.iamloffa.com/portfolio-2/eco-living-alentejo and am establishing a transformational music festival on the site - http://sanctuaryfest.org/

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to make contact with people around the world whom I may wish to visit/have visit me and potential create communities with in the future.

I'm also using Couchsurfing as a way to attract volunteers to my projects, currently, this one - http://www.iamloffa.com/portfolio-2/eco-living-alentejo.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can offer a broad range of computer/IT/office/business skills. I have studied computing and business management at university; worked as a software engineer, an office manager and have set-up/managed my own veg box delivery business. I'm generally well organised and proactive. I hope to use these skills in exchange for food/accommodation and opportunities to gain practical domestic/land skills. As such, I'm happy to get my hands dirty. I'm physically capable so have no problem getting stuck in!

Additionally, I have a full and clean UK driving license (if that would be of use in your country...). I am also trained in traditional Chinese martial arts and have been attuned to Reiki level 2. I'd be happy to practice with others.
