ABOUT ME

I want to learn as much as i can from people, places and things on earth and beyond.
I'm currently studying Environmental Science at Uni Victoria on Vancouver Island this Fall.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is the notion of learning how to die - Someone smart and wise.
If i had a perfect one i would be infinitely happy .
Something relating to travel may be - Even bad experiences are experiences. Something good can be taken from anything, all you need is the right perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing encompasses the essence of travelling. People are the most important part of a journey and I love meeting adventurous, open minded and intrepid people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept in ashrams, on beaches, in cosy looking bushes, ; I am very easy to please. A spot on the ground is all I need. I've never hosted formal couch surfers but have had many international traveling friends stay at my place.
