I'm not a big fan of describing myself; I'd prefer you to meet me and draw your own conclusions :-)

I try to live a compassionate life, in line with what I think is "natural". I mostly eat plant-based non-processed foods (vegan / ital). I stopped cutting my hair because I'd rather learn how to accept my body the way it is than to spend my life fighting to keep up a certain aesthetic. I cycle as my primary means of commuting. I enjoy the benefits of meditation.

For the last two years, my life has felt largely monotonus so I'm looking to break up the routine. Very close to purchasing a shortie bus / sprinter van to convert into a luxurious full-time, off-grid home complete with solar panels and compostable toilet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on it because I am on a bike journey, quite tired, and would love a place to sleep.

Staying in hostels can add up quick - and just doesn't let you get to know a place like couchsurfing with locals does. Couchsurfing is a better experience for me - a country is more than just it's cultural landmarks and landscapes, it is all about the inhabitants. A better experience, that is more affordable. It's a win-win.
