Overview
About Me
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I like the community surrounding it. I think it's important, enriching and expanding to experience and share culture on a personal level Also I have a couch in London which, seeing as it's such an expensive place, should be useful to other travellers. ;)
Interests
I'm interested in people and their passions. In different philosophies and ways of looking at life and the world, therefore I'm interested in culturas, customs and anthropology. This is a primary reason why I travel, talking politics and ethics with people from around the world is incredible! I practice meditation and mindfulness. I love yoga but know very little about it :)
I adore good food, and cooking. Vegetarian and vegan especially.
I play saxophone. And I enjoy sharing music and learning about new artists and genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hitchhiked from paris to granada, with three friends. We slept rough mostly, unfortunately we didn't know about couchsurfing then.
