About Me

Hello fellow Couch Surfers!

I am still relatively new to Couch Surfing.

I’m interested in:
- minimalism
- environmentalism
- zero waste
- veganism
- cooking
- cycling
- photography
- simple living

I enjoy meeting new people and listening to their stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was hosted by some lovely Swedes when I was backpacking around Sweden in 2016 and want to share the Couchsurfing love.

I'm more interested in exchanging culture with people rather than doing tourist-y things!

Interests

I like riding my bike, making new friends and tasting new foods from different cultures. I also like drinking beer (especially the new craft beers) and will not be a snob to your local beer! I'm also interested in the zero-waste and minimalism subcultures.

I'm also a bit of an ethnographer (having studied Cultural Studies).

Simple living philosophy is something that I'm starting to delve into.

I'm also into looking at the architecture of old buildings and photographing them.

I like to drink tea.

Oh, and before I forget... I like cats.
