ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

l I guess just trying to be as open minded and empathetic as possible.

I'm vegan most of the time but I'm flexible with it as I seem to end up being vegetarian quite often when i'm traveling. I guess it's one of the few definite things i could say about my 'philosophy'. I see it as a personal choice and it's not something I'd normally mention but in the past people have kindly prepared food for me and I wouldn't want to offend or inconvenience anyone so I thought I should put it on my profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, learn from them and hopefully share whatever I can with them.
