I am constantly trying to live consciously and be kinder to others. I have a deep respect for the planet and for people who are kind to it. Lately, I've been focusing on living as my most authentic self. I am here to learn!

I tend to be shy and introverted around new people, but let’s just say with a couple beers in me the world looks different. Beer or no beer, I can become pretty outgoing around the right people. Generally speaking, those people are just individuals with a ‘no expectations’ disposition. I gravitate towards people who are humble and accommodating.

I haven’t hosted anyone yet, since I’m travelling abroad, but I’d like to think I’m incredibly easy going. If you want to hangout, that’s okay with me, but if you’d prefer your own space, that’s cool too! Just do what you need to do for you.

However, I am a cat person, if that changes anything for you. I have a cat named Ricky Baker and he is the light of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help others in the same way they have helped me, to explore more of the world, meet new people and (hopefully) build new relationships and share stories of human experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Die hard favourite movie is The Breakfast Club, I often watch it when I'm sad. I also deeply enjoy the LOTR trilogy, all the Harry Potters, About Time, Whiplash, The Secret Garden, Star Wars, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Disturbia, Hunt for the Wilderpeople (the main character of which my cat is named after)... and if I keep listing movies I love we’ll be here all day.

I'm the most relaxed critic when it comes to music. I'll listen to anything if I'm in the mood for it! Some artists I’ve been frequently playing are Billie Eilish, The Tragically Hip, Sir Sly and Hozier.

I’m an avid reader. I tend to stick to fiction, mostly. Mystery, romance and fantasy novels, or narratives that creatively analyze human existence/the human condition!

A comfy, safe place to rest. Some food, some drinks. And if you DO want to hangout, then maybe my sense of humour (which is very dry).
