About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have a feeling of connection with others... and try crazy food

ABOUT ME

I am a somewhat quiet person who spends a lot of time musing about life (daydreaming), preferring to be around people in small numbers so i can have a good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to always share with others and to never make assumptions. Life is so much richer when you are experiencing the good things together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is the real social networking site. Being able to make friends with peoplee of common interests, on the other side of the world, people I'd have otherwise have never known. Well that's just fantastic.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Walking into a stranger's house and being treated as a friend, it's hard to say how special this is.

Interests

I like to have a long one on one conversation with someone that goes on into the night. I really enjoy lying under the stars and thinking about the universe and how mind boggingly fascinating it is. I am told i'm a good cook, whether i am or not i love to cook for others. I'm a graphic designer, so i am interested in the arts in general, reading, writing, and i love, love music, of any kind.

Also, i can't live without humour, if i can joke with someone i know i will be their friend.
