CURRENT MISSION

i think that i'm already living the life i've spent so much time trying to find

ABOUT ME

i am a collector of oddities, lover of music, and the type of person who can dance for hours on end. i currently live in north london. i enjoy gardening, live music, photography, coffee, salsa and bachata dancing, urban farms, and dark chocolate.

PHILOSOPHY

"far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

my ultimate participation comes from spreading the good news and going to events

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have nothing but wonderful things to say about this "movement" of kindness and curiosity and generosity!
you get out of it, whatever you put in.

Interests

collector of pretty things. i have many plants and a beautiful tarantula. you can find me scrounging around parks for feathers, and haggling at markets, learning new languages, cooking, and i enjoy walking through the woods just as much as i love city transport and exploring the streets.
