Travel on a journey of different experiences and self reflection
ABOUT ME
Hey! I'm a pretty chilled out guy. I absolutely love to laugh and talking to people from different parts of the world . I'm pretty inquisitive so I love exploring new places and meeting new people. And finally, to add a few more things to the list: reading, watching movies, listening to music, and meditating. Back in Edinburgh we had a couple CSers over already and I have a great time talking to them about their lives/adventures.
PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is that you should take any chance you get to go on an adventure.
Appreciate everything, there is so much on this planet to appreciate and be awed by.
Dont take life to seriously and love every moment of it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far I have only had people at our old flat. My flatmate was the one hosting but I had such a great time talking to the people and showing them around that I decided I wanted to become a couchsurfer
Interests
My big hobby/passion is sailing. Music is obviously one but everybody loves that so I dont think it really counts. I guess dancing, its not really a hobby or something that I can do well (sometimes i like to think I can) but I admire a good dancer. I also find it fun to occasionally let my mind be blown away by our modern world, like taking a big step back and looking at all the crazy things we can do, have accomplished, and can see (quantum mechanics wtf). I also really love amazing views and I think dogs are fantastic. I'm also starting to get into biking I think its a totally awesome way to travel.
