About Me

I have recently returned from working in Malawi as a researcher and doctor and travelling a little bit in Vietnam and Malaysia.

Now I've moved to Cornwall to start a new job and I'm looking for more adventures!

I love being outdoors and activities like cycling, running, swimming and hiking. I also love great food, beer, listening to different kinds of music and going to festivals.

I am always on the look-out for the rare joys of the present moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a good project for connecting with people from all around the world.
