About Me

I am a filmmaker and have been lucky enough to travel a lot with my job, making documentaries for development organisations and NGOs around the world.
Now I'm settled in Barcelona, Spain with my partner, Oriol. I love to garden in a plot of land we have outside of the city. Other than that life is all for enjoying the beautiful city of Barcelona!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing helped me and my colleagues build our company! We travelled and stayed with people for years while we were nomading around making our first videos. When I had a bit more room I was hosting in Hong Kong, Beirut and Kenya - so much in Kenya! Now in Barcelona my place is a bit small, but I look forward to hosting again when we have more space.

Interests

Permaculture! If you are into gardening, agroforestry, soil health! or anything on the subject of plants, seeds, and growing things, I can talk for hours!

Music, Movies, and Books

Podcasts should be an option here too! I listen to sooo many podcasts and love to learn about new ones!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buy a little piece of land with 200 trees and start the very humbling process of working on it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If they have a garden I can definitely help out there. We can teach people how to play hot dice and yatzi! Always happy to cook a meal too :)
