About Me

CURRENT MISSION

take in as much as I can from all around me

ABOUT ME

I'm quite chaotic in how I speak and think, I love the seaside (so far I've loved every seaside I've seen, from Norway to Tunisia). I love singing and making music (used to have a band, we played the blues). Friends laugh at how I collect unusual things from places I go (animals' teeth, posters, fancy glass bottles etc etc). Also I never know what to write in questionnaires like this.

PHILOSOPHY

never lose opportunities

I guess I like too much music to list. From hip-hop, soul and funk to opera, and crappy pop hits for fun.

I'm a really slow reader, but I love Zadie Smith, american classics like Steinbeck, Tennessee Williams, Carson McCullers, Isaac Bashevis Singer, also travel journals sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent one eye-opening day in Palestine talking to amazing people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help anyone out there brush up on their English, I'm good at arts&crafts, anything to do with music <3! I'd love to learn to cook and speak more languages.
