Overview
About Me
I somehow ended up in Malaysia working on a livelihoods project with refugee women. At first I had no idea what I was doing -- now I do, thank goodness. By the way, if anybody reading if is in Malaysia from Nov 3 to Nov 17, I've organised a photo exhibition telling the stories of refugee artisans living in Malaysia as part of Urbanscapes festival. Please go if you can!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It's such a beautiful thing- people inviting people into their lives, and seeing the world from each other's eyes.
Interests
I love making food, talking about food and listening to people talk about food, going to farmers markets, the seasons. Also long walks and fresh air.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 21, I travelled solo for a year with just a cabin bag for a year. #litelife
I also remember the exact moment I started swearing. I was 16 years old was going down the wall of death on Mount Elgon in Uganda.
