Overview
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.
