PHILOSOPHY

I try to live in the moment but sometimes my thoughts wander off to distant places and times.

I don't really have a philosophy for my life, I'm just trying to enjoy it as much as I can while also keeping in mind that there are other people and creatures living in this beautiful world.

I am essentially a city girl but during the past few years I have started to enjoy being outdoors and in the countryside more. I really want to get in touch with the nature more, but at the same time it kind of scares me. It feels so big and unpredictable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted by some amazing people when I was travelling across the United States. I enjoyed every stay.

I have only hosted a couple of times and hope to host a lot more in the future.

gilmore girls
how i met your mother
freaks&geeks
30 rock
3rd Rock from the Sun

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled solo across the USA using Greyhound as main transportation. I also lived in Vancouver, Canada for five months.
