CURRENT MISSION

Cultivating creativity and passion.

ABOUT ME

Above all things I'd say I am nice and open-minded. Each waking day I am in awe of the world and all the things I've yet to explore.

PHILOSOPHY

"watch how you treat every living soul"
and
live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to keep the door open for meeting new people. I've had a couple of surfers and been a surfer myself once :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had one experience thus far, in Strasbourg, France. It was an amazing trip, my host was great!

I've also hosted a handful of people, each was a great experience!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting my best friend and love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what I can teach others. I am a "jack of all trades" so I tend to know a bit about loads of things. I'd like to learn how to enjoy cooking, it doesn't seem possible! I'd also love to learn the banjo :)
