About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pursue bliss through travel, hugs and adventures.

ABOUT ME

I try to ensure I'm living each day to the fullest.
I spent seven years hitchhiking around the world. Covid hit and I got a job. Thankfully it is a seasonal job so I still get half the year to travel!
Life is the most rewarding when filled with new friends and that is what CSing creates. Since discovering CS I have delved into all of its layers and endeavoured to use this resource in all ways possible.

I do not consider couchsurfing to be a tinder equivalent. I am not interested in a romantic relationship with either hosts or surfers.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that in life the answer should always be YES to make sure you're pushing your boundaries and really experiencing life not just living it. I guess I would have to describe myself as a hedonistic extrovert.
Contrarily, I have found recently that the sheer opulence of some disheartening and I am trying to live in a sustainable manner both environmentally and emotionally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfing when I travel, Hosting when I have a 'home'.

I really love world politics and economics as they relate to the daily lived experience of humans. The climate change crisis is fascinating and I try to do my part.
