Two people who are never in the same country

Facilitators do not normally take buddy pairings with members of circles they hold, for reasons that should be obvious and are set out in our moderation page. This is the one exception on the site and it was agreed by three facilitators before it started, with the condition that Ozzy is not in any circle Noor holds.

They both travel constantly for work, and the correspondence is almost entirely logistics: what a cool bag actually does over fourteen hours, which airlines have been sensible, what a customs officer has asked, how to plan a dose around a long-haul flight and a date line. Much of travelling with a pen came from them.

Noor is clear that this is a peer arrangement and that she takes off the facilitator hat entirely for it, and that if it ever became a support relationship she would end it and say so publicly.
