Description

You can call me Chris!

I am a deep, sensitive and curious person. I am interested in philosophy, politics, and public service. I am a very open and curious person, and love to understand how others experience the world. This is the main reason why I love travelling.

I have left my corporate job to travel in India (and Nepal) for a year. When I return to work, I intend to work in a government role or an NGO.

I am also a creative and artistic person. I like to celebrate weirdness! I love to connect with others in all kinds of ways, usually by chatting, playing or being silly.

My favourite hobbies and other interests are walking, being in the mountains, listening and dancing to music, reading about all kinds of things, and Buddhist spirituality and meditation.

I have never used Workaway before but I have travelled a lot. I am keen to contribute something to the community I am visiting and believe could be a brilliant way to do it, whilst also gaining a deeper understanding of how life really works for the brilliant, ordinary people of India.
