Overview
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!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- To cross Europe by motorbike on my own, from England to Greece and back, across 15 countries!

- To strip off at the Brighton Naked Ride defending the rights of the cyclist and advocating for a world free of fossil fuels.
