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.
