Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to make the world a friend
ABOUT ME
i really don't like filling in personal profile things so please be forgiving (!)
i'm a rural mountain girl and tend to go for landscape and small towns before cities.
plan on seeing every country in the world in my lifetime and hiking every mountain range.
if i ever have to settle down it will involve the mountains, forest, a tree house and living off the land.
i like to live as simply as possible, fancy hotels freak me out.
incurably optimistic
PHILOSOPHY
love your neighbour as yourself
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
i like to live communally and share everything with those i meet. passionate about encouraging open communication and cultural exchange and definitely believe travel should be about experiencing a place by getting involved with the place itself and getting to know people.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
i've only hosted so far but that's something i love to do. i tend to end up visiting friends as i know people all around the world but am certainly easy to please (!)
