About Me

I regard myself as warm-hearted, open-minded and down-to-earth. Optimistic yet realistic. Integrity and authenticity matter to me.

My love for Nature is a key defining aspect of who I am 🌱. I work in Sustainability trying to create a better world for all living beings.

Sunrises, sunsets, meaningful conversations, personal growth, collective growth, eyes glittering by the bonfire, silence, Nature, sniffing flowers, breathing, empathy, spontaneity, dancing with closed eyes, honest eye contact, genuine smiles, uncommon and challenging questions, wellington boots, bare-feet, heartfelt hugs, stargazing...

Those are some words that came to my heart when feeling into what moves, inspires, defines, and motivates me.

My long-term dream is to buy land and create a beautiful community of like-minded people where we live in harmony with the natural world (including ourselves!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- To cross Europe by motorbike on my own, from England to Greece and back, across 15 countries!
- To play football with little Buddhist monks at their monastery lost in the mountains (and given that I am not into football at all, I was totally beaten by 10yo's)
- To spend three weeks trekking the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas, crossing Thorong la pass at 5416m!
- To strip off at the Brighton Naked Ride defending the rights of the cyclist and advocating for a world free of fossil fuels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish (hola!), cooking (including a mind-blowing Spanish tortilla, and a cracking hummus) and hopefully many other things.

I can also share a lot about Sustainability/environmental topics, community living, permaculture, etc.
