About Me

Like most people on CS, I love traveling, the outdoors, meeting new people and making friends. I've traveled most of Europe and Africa, some of Asia and am really keen on visiting New Zealand, Australia and Antartica at some point. I honestly can't say I've found too many cities I didn't love though there are a few I doubt I'll ever get back to (we'll leave them unnamed :) ).

I tend to have a busy schedule and love to utilize my time to the extent possible. Mostly reading, pursuing mini-projects and most recently trying to get back into writing.

I'd like to think of myself as an open book so ask any questions :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a community where our homes were open to strangers, family and friends. I appreciated it then and hope to bring that into my life via CS again. Looking forward to opening my home (though super small) to fellow travelers.

Depending on timing, I may be available to show you around the city. At the very least do something fun and active, if that's your jam :)

Interests

A good debate, useless questions that can become pretty awesome conversations, imaginative discussions, storytelling - don't worry, I enjoy a good conversation but am not a chatty-cathy.

Equally enjoy the silent moments and running off into the crevices of my mind .

Love a good hike, though I'm still learning to fall in love with stairs..., dancing is way up there on the list.

Basically enjoy almost anything, willing to try everything (almost everything?) at least once.
