Hello!

I'm a feminist polyamorous digital researcher living in London with Ben, my nesting partner and Thor, our cat.

I'm currently working in brand research with a bunch of wankers, and I also work as a freelance photographer. I'm actually a jurisprudence post-grad, and made a sort of attempt to train as a barrister. But I realised quickly that I definitely didn't want to do that, and I prefer a more laid back life.

I also volunteer and do some projects for a women's tech org I helped launch a few years ago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make amazing new friends for life, and meet people from around the world who want to explore London and want to help me explore the world.

I'm looking for a much more sociable experience, and want to host people who really are looking for more than just a bed for the night.

Interests

I love photography. It's my primary interest outside of volunteering in the social technology space. I also love parties and hanging out with friends as well as the typical Netflix binging and playing video game stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year I project managed and delivered #PeaceHackBEY, a Hackathon in Beirut, Lebanon to address problems accessing resources and services faced by Lebanese youth, women and refugees residing in Lebanon. It was an amazing experience leveraging technology and inspiring communities. I'd love to talk to you about it.
