Umar Wali

I’m a trauma surgeon by day/night(?) and motorsport medic (recently F1🏎) but manage to balance life really well so I’m as known for my breadth of interests outside of work as I am for work itself. Time spent alone or with people is valuable, it’s where life actually happens. It’d be nice to expand the octet as people drop off the grid into family life. I’m nerdy about specialty coffee, tolerably so and have a clutch of favourite coffeehouses across the city I enthuse about to all. Cooking is my passion hobby, I’m often exploring new horizons in the kitchen. I read a lot and value forging intellectual connections as that’s who I love sharing my soul with. Meandering trails through inspiring environments, museums, lectures. I’m physically as active as possible, driven to challenge myself to keep moving no matter what and push through adversity challenges. I love sharing this need - to move, lift, climb, to set goals and physically achieve - with my circle. I tell people I’m a poet.
