After studying philosophy and political science in the UK, I traveled the world for four years, sometimes working and having a few coins, sometimes not having that level of luxury. I visited more than 40 countries, the first 12 only on foot, as I criss-crossed the landscape, wildcamping and practicing self survival. I opened myself to everything and everyone. I was free from the system, happy, self determined and intended to live the rest of my life this way. Then, 7 years ago, my magical daughter, Maya was born in Berlin, I fell in love the instant I held her and have been based in Berlin ever since. She is my world now.

She‘s a touch shy, but super smart, determined, and funny. She likes dressing as a princess, lego, making art, playing football, sewing, maths puzzles, books, movies, board games and trying to wrestle me. She speaks fluent German and English and tries to teach me the former. She has a slight lactose intolerance and won’t eat meat, but she’ll never be vegan because she’s crazy addicted to eggs. She’s really into fitness and announced last week she’s working on her six pack 😂 You will be hosted in her room if she‘s with her mum, otherwise we have a sofa in the kitchen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In all the places I've been, I've never seen anything as incredible as human beings. Connecting with some of them has been, by far, the most amazing thing I've ever done and continue to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

Whatever it is that you love, that gets you excited, interested and enthusiastic, whatever your uncommon knowledge or specialization or talent is, I would love to learn about it. It's just so beautiful to see someone's passion for something shine through, regardless of the subject.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations, communication and connection in a variety of forms. Tell me your favourite vegetables and I’ll cook something tasty for you.
