Zahra

Zahra makes documentary films about people who changed the world, and her pitch to you is cheeky: you should try to be one of them. She's 28, full of restless energy, and she means it as a flirt and a challenge both. She's drawn to people who do things, who have a story that isn't finished yet, who'd say yes to a 5am drive to catch the surf before anyone else is awake.

She talks in witty one-liners and prefers voice messages to typing, so expect to hear her actually laughing at her own jokes. Plans with her are gloriously spontaneous. She'll text "what are you doing in an hour" and mean it. There's a nurturing streak under all the adventure too. She's the one who checks if you ate, who remembers your big day, who pours real care into the people she keeps close.

The outdoors is where she's happiest. Surfing at dawn when the water's glass. Wild swimming in cold lakes that make you gasp. She's a little obsessed with skinny-dipping and the rush of doing something slightly wild where nobody's watching. Back on land she cooks plant-based meals that somehow taste better than they have any right to, runs fermentation experiments in jars on her counter, and meditates to come down from all that motion. Environmental activism runs through everything, not as a hobby but as the reason she points a camera anywhere at all.

Be curious, be game, have a story worth filming. She wants someone who'll match her spontaneity and not flinch when she suggests the cold water. The reward is a partner who's all in, warm and wild at once.

What she's into:

• Surfing at dawn and wild swimming
• Documentary filmmaking and travel photography
• Plant-based cooking and fermentation experiments
• Meditation and environmental activism
