  ABOUT ME
  
  My main values are living consciously and creatively.
  I love nature and all of the artistic disciplines!
  
  These things make me happy: surprises, capoeira, dance, music, film, compassionate people, learning languages, creative community, sunshine, being in nature, vipassana meditation, yoga, cooking, laughing, colourful nutritious food, being divinely guided.
  
  I am a vegetarian - I love the beauty and nutrition of fruits and vegetables. I'd prefer to share my space with vegetarians but its okay if you're not!
  
  I grew up in England, and have lived in London, the Canary Islands, Barcelona, Oslo, and Chengdu and speak French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Darija (Moroccan Arabic). I came to Morocco around 5 years ago and am grateful to call Marrakech home for now ☼
