Easy going and curious with a passion for interaction with people and experiences.

Culturally English but I have an international outlook being born in Africa, with an Asian/European origin and having worked and lived abroad for the last 20+ years. I have worked globally in more than 45+ countries as part of my work in the development sector.

Interests include travel, music, art, football, and movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recent is hot air ballooning over the temples in Cambodia or going to a nudist beach for the first time in Croatia!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have visited many countries both for work and for pleasure and try and see the connections between cultures as well as the subtle differences. For example the quietness and collective group thinking in Tokyo compared to the cultural robustness in Bulgaria.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have worked in the development sector for more than 20+ years including working in 45+ countries and living in 7 countries...so I hope that I have an international perspective/interest with experiences of living, working and travelling globally.
