About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, meet new people and try new things.

ABOUT ME

I lived in Krakow, Poland for 3 years studying for a master's degree and I taught English in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China for two years. I help operate a food truck in Copenhagen and try to take time off to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Relax and take things as they come. And while patience is a virtue, don't wait too long or shit passes you by.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am just traveling and surfing and meeting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Ljubljana, Slovenia with a cool guy named Ira. He was a very cool and relaxed guy, and he took me to the bar with some of his friends, and they showed me around the city. It was my first time couch surfing and I must say the experience was entirely positive.
