ABOUT ME

I try to be a compassionate funky person who is up for most things and has an intense desire for adventure and the meeting of amazing people. I love anything unusual or artistic and I always want to try new things especially if they are important to other people. I would also just like to add that I always try to be as respectful and mature around people who are being generous to me, as i feel its very important to be considerate.
Thanks

PHILOSOPHY

I grew up in a Buddhist family, but I am yet to conclude my opinion on life, although I have many philosophical ideas.

My main ambition is that through learning and maturing via experience as a person I can go on to help others. (This can mean anything from simply trying to make someone smile to much greater attempts at kindness)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe that in using this site I will give back as much as I take if that makes sense. I feel its important to not just rely on the kindness of others and then not return that compassionate action. Its important give back even if its not to the people that originally helped me.

Interests

I'm interested in life the universe and everything! Predominantly focused on things such as Art Philosophy and Music but that in no way means they are my sole interests, I am also interested in Sustainability and meeting people.
