About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I travel, read, learn, meet people. Really trying to figure out what my mission is like.

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back person who loves to roam, walk, wander, imagine, write. Definitely a book-lover. I love to explore cities, meet people, do yoga. I'm trying to keep myself interested in new things.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
