Slava Ukraini!

Слава Україні!


Writer, peace-builder & nomadic humanitarian

Welcome to the Waugh Zone: the website of Louisa Waugh

HELLO there


About me

I’m a writer, peace-builder & nomadic humanitarian, always restless for new challenges : I’m especially interested in working with communities, on reducing violent conflicts and protecting refugees and migrants.

I travel as much as I can, especially to remoter places and wild landscapes: I post blogs and articles on what I see and learn. I laugh as much as possible , and dance whenever I can, amidst the creative scavenger hunt of my life on the road. Do Join me!

“I write this blog based on my personal experiences and insights, plus other vignettes that move, outrage or amuse me. I love my life in all its flowing, messy and unpredictable beauty.  I am to the very best of my abilities, truly alive.”

Support Samos Volunteers


samos volunteers logo

We all know this long-term crisis demands a long-term political strategy, instead of EU member states abandoning refugees, and Greek communities, to fend for themselves. In the meantime, self-organised groups like SV are on the ground seven days a week, working alongside refugees on Samos, to make life in the camp more bearable.
