Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excited to couchsurf for the first time this September!

Interests

I'm a
baker,
collector of music boxes,
lover of dark chocolates,
cherries,
people watching,
art that sets off more questions than answers,
unhappy film endings,
books with spine (not just the tangible kind),
and the glorious sensation
of stepping on a parched leaf.
