CURRENT MISSION

Live simply.

ABOUT ME
I envision a world where the needs of all human beings are held with equal care and respect. I am passionate about creating safe spaces for people living in violence to experience compassion, hope and joy.

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity. Compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and staying with people as a way of experiencing life from the inside. The highlight of my trips has often been the people I connect with and the friendships I've made.

I've travelled the world for 8 years volunteering, studying, teaching, engaging in peace community projects, hiking, wild swimming, exploring beautiful places in nature and visiting friends.
