About me? Such a loaded question. I am passionate about stories. I love books, movies, podcasts, and photographs. Anything to do with storytelling, regardless of the medium. Experiencing a thousand lives and perspectives. Feeling moments tragic, or intimate. I would not be able to live without stories.
I am also an avid hiker and trekker. I enjoy exploring a place. Whether its windblown peak overlooking the sea, or a small corner in a back alley with art painted on the walls. To fall forward, one step at a time and feel a place.
People and community is something I am also passionate about. Fostering positive connections and relationships is an important, though often overlooked part of Human experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to connect with people. To hear their stories, and make new ones. To open my mind and find new perspectives on life. Humans are social creatures. We need to connect to thrive.

St Augustine said "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page"
I do not want to read only a page. I want to read it all, and author a few myself.
