About Me

ABOUT ME

I laugh in almost every single situation and I have a strong tendency to end up on stages/speakers without noticing how I got there. That said, I have the whole cliche, introspective artist thing going for me too. The two sides don't make sense together, I know, but if you're looking for sense you've chosen the wrong planet anyways!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I had a couch of my own I would love to host, but I'm living with the family I work for so it'll have to wait a bit.
