About Me

I've spend the last 5 years studying architecture, and before that studied film and cinematography. What I've found more than anything though is that I'm a student of life (as well all are). It doesn't so much matter what you do but what you share and its through sharing that we really experience the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best way to meet locals, make friends and become a part of the landscape.

Interests

I watch a lot of films, listen, learn, laugh and draw, love to talk philosophy, share stories, drink coffee, explore the city, watch the stars, walk, ride, climb, swim, run... the list goes on

  • architecture
  • coffee
  • running
  • drinking
