About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventure. Exploration. Good times with good people.

ABOUT ME

Me? I'm currently doing a Bachelor of Development Studies with the aim of getting into the humanitarian field, and loving it! Just finished studying a Sustainable Development program in Sweden which has been so rewarding. Before that I was traveling and working abroad for around 6 years. Some would say escaping reality but I wouldn't. I've had so many amazing experiences and met the coolest people ever! I'm fairly open and love going on adventures. Be it down to the local supermarket at 3am or hiking through the forest looking for bears.

I love to discover new music and could happily spend the day wandering around an art gallery or getting lost in a new city.

I'm also a part-time artist.

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets. Be a good kid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed several times now. All experiences have been amazing and special in their own respect. I've found it such a great way to meet genuinely good people on the same wave length. Wish I'd started couchsurfing sooner.. feel like I've missed out on meeting sooo many awesome people.

Just started hosting recently and so far it's been great!
