ABOUT ME

I'm very open and easy going like many couchsurfers. I´m always curious and eager to learn, I think everyone has something to teach. I am sometimes quiet sometimes talkative. I enjoy a cup of tea and a book just as much as I enjoy a gin tonic and a party. Just looking to explore as much of the earth as I can and meet interesting people along the way

PHILOSOPHY

"Seek gentleness, not righteousness"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many, one of the most memorable days of my life was when I took a canoe with some friends in Panama to a small island to climb up a cliff and jump into the ocean. I went camping in the deserts of Utah and they were also some of the most breathtaking, beautiful views I have ever seen.
