About Me

Hi! I'm a 22-year old university student-turned-restaurant worker on a backpacking trip around Europe for June this year. I speak English, and enough French to ask for the cheque. I know online descriptions can say anything, but I do pride myself on being a good guest, and here's hoping I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I know the best way to experience any new place is to become acquainted with someone who calls that place home. I've had an amzing few experiences in Europe so far, mostly through AirBnb and Couchsurfing looks like a very good place to make better connections and learn more about the places that I'm visiting.

Interests

Anything interesting! I like new experiences, having fun, music, shows, good food, cooking, making friends and ultimately sharing positive times with people.
Also: learning, sciences, nature, new-agey stuff, good conversations, music, magic tricks, food, sightseeing, and anything that makes for a good story.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wow, where to start? I like a lot of metal music, and a lot of other music. When it comes to books, I'll read anything as long as long as it's well-written, and when it comes to movies, I'll take almost any recommendation. Tell me your favourites and I'll tell you mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It was one of the most exhilerating and enthralling things I think a human can experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Fun fact: if you're ever faced with a wild cougar, you should spread your shirt out to make yourself look larger, it's an intimidation tactic.
Also useful: you can use honey to lessen canker sores.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good manners, cleanliness, and a willingness to listen and learn. I can also do dishes and make pancakes.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, Dominican Republic, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates
