Writer, peace-builder & independent consultant
Welcome to the Waugh Zone: the website of Louisa B Waugh
HELLO there
Hello there, I’m a writer and independent consultant, based on the mighty West coast of Scotland. I work with communities to reduce violence and marginalisation, and to explore how dialogue and peace-building can be a radical change-makers. Do contact me if you need an experienced consultant and I can share my CV – see details on the ‘about me’ page.
I regularly blog about Gaza, where I worked as a human rights investigator. And in other news, I am in the early stages of writing a book about nature for people who don’t read natural history……..more to come!
I travel whenever possible, especially to the wilds and often alone: I post blogs and articles on what I see and learn. I read every morning, have never stopped trying to change the world and hold fast to the sentiment of ‘saving pessimism for better times,’ as expressed by Carolyn Baker, or else Eduardo Galleano….. whoever said it, we need these words right now.
On this site you’ll find blog posts, links to articles, ideas and musings; I’m not on X for reasons most of us understand. There’s a contact box on this site, so do drop me a few words – best to you, wherever you are reading this from.
Waugh Stories
The Waugh Stories are a collection of writings from my travels through the world’s darkest and brightest places.
“I write this blog based on my personal experiences and insights, plus vignettes that move, outrage or make me laugh. I love my life in all its flowing, messy, unpredictable beauty. To the best of my abilities, I am truly alive.”
