Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started. I can't host anyone yet, but I would definitely do so once I live on my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a noob at couchsurfing but I hope to have my first experience very soon

Interests

I play the flute and learn how to play the cello.
I love balfolk: the dancing, the music, the people.
I started learning lindy hop as well this dance scene is just amazing as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lived in a rural village in Cameroon for 4 months where I set up a project on reusable sanitary pads.
We started with 2 schools where students could make the pads themselves at an affordable price. This would give us an opening to start up dialogue and education about personal hygiene, menstruation, sex, HIV,...

It was tough at times being on my own, shouldering this project, but it's definitely the one thing I'm most proud of doing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a firm believer that nothing is ever black &white, but grey instead.
There is no pure right or wrong, good or evil,...

I love talking about all kinds of subjects and I'm always eager to discuss and learn about other points of view.

If everybody could just accept that your side of the story is just that, ONE side of the story, I think we could live in a more tolerant world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If there is a decent balfolk or swing scene in your city, I would love to show you some of the dances and go dancing together.

I like to cook, so as a thank you, I'd be happy to make some yummy food.
