**Recently decided to make a move to sheffield...looking for some support from the Sheffield community whilst me and my buddy Will find our feet!...we are looking to stay in different places for 3-4 days at a time minimum...can you help?**

About me:

My vocation is medicine, but Im in to meditation, permaculture, alternative forms of living and organising ourselves as interconnected beings based on fun(k), love, connection, trust and abundance, not fear and alienation, competition and the price mechanism.

I finished work as a junior doctor working in hispitals for 3 years and am now a full time disaster prevention Doctor - trying to reduce the impact of the greatest threat facing the health of people on this planet...climate breakdown and the social collapse that could go along with it. My work is broad from pressureing govenrmental policy change, civil disobedience, permaculture, community building and psychological/spiritual work

It's a work in progress and there's lots to work on internally and externally, couch surfing has come to be a great catalyst and companion along the way and I look forward to hosting and meeting more of you lovely people

About WILL: Yo yo, I'm Will, currently a fulltimer with XR, working to build a national movement for local democracy and community organising. Studied physics before travelling, hitchiking and meditating through Europe and Asia for a couple of years, and very nearly doing a PhD before getting pulled into environmental activism and never looking back! Always down for a funky jam, juicy conversation or hiking adventure. And super excited to meet the good folk of Sheffield!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Only through interacting with strangers and new people can we learn from the richness and variety of life. Forming new connections with people teaches us new ways to generate happiness and love for each other.

Through the alienation synptomatic of modern western existence couch surfing is a way to feel and form community in a really wholesome way

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Set up and ran a homeless shelter for a year

Teach, Learn, Share

meditation/mindfulness (training to become a teacher), can teach some yoga or just play with some acro.

I want to learn how to play music...it scares me to join in even clapping, so if you want to hold my hand through a few songs I'd really appreciate it, currently trying to learn acoustic guitar at a very basic level

Always looking to try new physical / spiritual activities. Interested in all religions and agnostics/ atheists.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to cook, socialise, do some yoga or meditation. Also happy to just stick to myself and stay out of your way.
