About Me

Hello! I’m an exiled Brit living in Berlin. I work innovation consulting, but my background is in philosophy and psychology.

I've lived previously in London, Copenhagen and Madrid. I spend lots of time reading, doing sports, yoga, and dancing.

My values are: Growth, Depth, Vitality, Intimacy, Freedom. It’s by these values I try to live my life.

I speak English, Spanish, rusty Danish and Portuguese, and terrible German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really appreciate the human connection side of travelling. I’m looking to meet travel buddies and locals for adventures and exploring together.

Interests

● Researching and writing about humanistic approaches to business and technology.
● Reading trashy sci-fi and fantasy novels.
● Discovering new cultures, adventurous journeys and learning languages. I’m currently focused on getting conservational in German.
● Taking a growth-mindset towards health, fitness, work and life. I'm into positive psychology, applied philosophy, somatic practices and coaching.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2019 I hiked Mount Olympus, and met with my patron god, Dionysus.

Teach, Learn, Share

I work in innovation so I can help you puzzle out a business idea.
I’m informed in philosophy and social sciences and can give some fresh thinking there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep and rewarding conversation.
No fear to connect in a meaningful way.
