Currently between jobs and using my plentiful free time to travel as much as I can. I am house trained, open minded, enthusiastic, and love trying new food. I also really like washing dishes and am happy to help around the house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet some cool people in the places I go! Plus everyone raves about Couchsurfing so thought I'd give it a go. I love hitch hiking and Couchsurfing seems the logical next step!

Interests

History, archaeology, museums, seafaring, trying new food, seeing cool architecture, Norse mythology, anything relating to the 18th century, lifting weights, re-enacting, living history.

Music, Movies, and Books

Scandinavian folk music, Led Zeppelin, Girl Talk... Books are always good! Movies: Lord of the Rings, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Pirates of the Caribbean (only the first one though)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1 Good thing: Met a girl on a local bus to Madurai, India and she invited me home to her village and introduced me to everyone, including the village elephant.
1 Bad thing: I hitchhiked around Myanmar and ended up spending the night in a police station because I was in an area tourists aren't supposed to go,

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak German and Swedish if anyone wants to practice! Love learning new things and keeping mind and ears open.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A comfy couch/mattress in London, depending on other housemates. Lots of local info, tips, cheap/free things to do in London (I work in tourism/museums).
