About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life, learn everything and figure out what I have to offer

ABOUT ME

My main feature is my height. I have a dry sense of humour with a big chunk of silly as well. I think I probably come across as reserved but I am quite lively and loud when I connect with people. I think a lot and talk a lot (laryngitis was a difficult experience for me). I´m not creative but I am an avid appreciator of creativity. I strive to be open minded - I think it´s probably the best anti-ageing cream out there

PHILOSOPHY

This is it - you only live once so don´t wait until tomorrow (and don´t waste it all documenting every movement on fb)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only surfed so far (3 times in mexico) because I really only started using the site this trip. It has been suprisingly uplifting so I feel like I owe the CS community a lot and can´t wait to host when I get home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My last hosts were setting up their house and garden in a new town and we spent a whole day painting two doors - one bright blue and the other aqua. My proudest couchsurfing experience.

Interests

I´m interested in latin culture - envious even. I love children, animals, nature, 420, books. I´m trying to learn to surf at the moment, always learning spanish. I love cooking but not quite as much as I love eating. Good company too
