Overview
About Me
Hello everyone! I am a fun, creative & outgoing human being. I work in youth development and also design clothing, write poetry and paint. I love languages, art & travelling. Growing up I have lived in New York & London and have spent time in Athens, Amsterdam & Seville. Most recently last year I was in California, I stayed in the Bay area (S.F & Oakland) where I was working in a Reform School and interning at a music and fashion studio.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am here because I love adventure, meeting amazing people & being inspired. I have stayed with families and artists from the kindness of their hearts on occasions and have housed or given a sofa to many people alike. I do believe in giving someone a chance to build can be as simple as a place to stay.
