About Me

I am an easy-going student looking to make the most of life; and that involves going to new places and meeting new people. Generally a very quiet person, I have a love of culture, history, and nature. I love any form of art or graphic design, especially street and contemporary art. I also enjoy staying active as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY:
"Work hard play hard"
"Life is too short not to make the most it"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before couchsurfing I usually stayed in hostels, and while they usually have many international people, i felt that I was missing a more local feel. Im on couchsuring because i love learning about culture first hand and a local perspective that you dont get on fancy tours.

Interests

I am very interested in all forms of art and design. Including traditional, contemporary, modern, street, etc. Personally, I enjoy working with many types of medium, and do my own paintings, drawings, or computer designs.

Camping and hiking are also two very important things to me. I will take any opportunity I can.

A general fan of all sports. But I also really enjoy playing board games and having a good conversation.
