ABOUT ME

Hello,
I'm a 31 year old human being who is currently working for a couple of incredible non-profit organisations, raising money and having a great time in life. I'm someone who loves meeting new people, exploring new places, going for adventures and has massive aspirations in traveling the world and experiencing what it has to offer.

Will be traveling around Europe from the 3rd of September so will be on the hunt for awesome couch surfing hosts to stay with.

PHILOSOPHY

all people and living things are valuable, humor is wonderful, hope is real and powerful. The world is AMAZING beyond comprehension
