CURRENT MISSION

I want to promote self-growth while accumulating first-hand experiences of other cultures and people.

ABOUT ME

I would consider myself a creative individual and pride myself on being an independent and critical thinker. I'm fascinated by the things that people create: music, paintings, sculptures, photos, food, etc!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm heading to London soon. I'd love to meet up with some folks to dine and drink and see some sights.
