Excerpts out of a Couchsurfer's Diary

December 2015 -
Now that I have settled down in New York, my college is already kicking me out again. They call it Christmas (break): but I won't be going home to my family this year before returning to college in January - instead I want to explore the city for reals, suck it all in, in its delicious, over-crowded-because-Christmassy glory.

August 2015 -
Doing some travelling before college, I am currently working with the Barbados Sea Turtle Project: spending my nights tracking, wrestling and tagging hawksbills on the beaches of this lovely Caribbean island. Why not? Crop Over, the island's carnival, provides contrast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm just getting started, but what a way to travel - and cheap! But I sure am interested to see how other people live as well ... to be honest this is the part that I dig most: everyone's totally different, and something like Couchsurfing can truly teach you that, in the most visceral way: the smell of the couch/bed/floor you are invited to, the different doors you knock on, the food left over from last night. The way someone speaks, the customs, the ideas, the hellos and goodbyes. Me and you!

Interests

Besides travel, film and literature for sure. I am currently doing my own animation, and seriously getting in to it too. Thing, another thing, lots of things really.
