Hey there, I am a 21 year old singer and student of early music history and English literature. Not doing too much traveling currently, though I took a year off to do workaway around Europe and the Middle East. On Couchsurfing still for the occasional short trip to some new city, because I prefer to meet people and make connections than to try to uncover a place on my own! I am down to just be a mellow guest but if you have anything to share I love to have conversations about anything. Especially music or local history. When traveling I alternate being very laid back/wanting to relax, and wanting living it up. I guess I like to explore on my own and am very self sufficient, but it you want to go out for drinks, hey, I’d want to go out for drinks.

Also if you have art supplies that could be fun. Or various musical instruments, that would be really fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet people when traveling - it’s more about the people than it is about the city, I think. Love to have conversations and hear stories from people, to enjoy the serendipity of a friendship across borders even if it only lasts a day.
