About Me

I'm one of those people who never feels comfortable staying still for too long - I always seem to either be on an adventure, or busy planning the next one. At some point I'm sure I'll find somewhere worth sticking around for, but for now I'm perfectly happy to flit from place to place and just see as much as I can whilst I still can :)
Currently, I'm working in a hostel in Tallinn. It's pretty cold and pretty dark, which isn't really my thing, but I'm keen to explore more of the country whilst I'm here, and see what else it has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always up for meeting new people, and I'm hoping that couchsurfing will help me to see new places through the eyes of the people who know it best; the locals.
I'll be sure to return the favour of course once I have my own slightly more permanent address!

Interests

Music (listening to and making), camping and hiking, world religion, photography, cinema, languages, festivals, and generally trying to make the world a better place!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - Into Thin Air, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Inheritance Cycle, A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club.
Movies - Into the Wild, Song of the Sea, Fight Club, Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, Silence of the Lambs, Jurassic Park, Office Space, Star Wars...etc.
Music-wise, I'm open to pretty much anything. Give me something that speaks to me on any level, be it lyrically beautiful or just something that makes me want to get up and dance, and I'm in. I'm a big fan of dance music however, and I do dabble in music production and DJing here and there :) Always keen to discover new music though, so go ahead and introduce me to what you like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ok so most people put something awesome here that really impresses whoever's reading it and makes them go 'Oh man, I wish that had been me!'
I'm gonna go in the opposite direction though and tell you about the time I got stuck in a vending machine on a ferry and managed to delay its return journey to France by half an hour whilst the crew extracted me from it. That's a pretty amazing feat, I'd say.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Generally speaking, I'm someone who pretty much radiates energy and positivity, so I mean there's that I guess? Otherwise though, I think my skillset extends about as far as my being able to make a pretty mean grilled cheese.
