Overview
About Me
I live in Heidelberg, Germany, though do my best to escape in winter. Right now I'm in Oaxaca, Mexico, until April 2024.
I try and lead my life according to Socrates' famous saying: "try everything once in life except incest and Morris Dancing."
My philosophy (a section I now realise CS has scrapped) is to keep an open mind, relax, do your part for the world, and pick up hitchhikers. Plus a sarong is useful in every situation.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting and surfing. Done more of the former but both are really fun :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Always has been excellent. Met some amazing people and had great experiences.
Interests
Interests vary from sports to reading and travelling, though my main passion is writing, with which I have a love-hate relationship xD
Like most Couchsurfers, I always want to learn about foreign cultures and different lifestyles. I enjoy cooking, pubs and parties; also love card games :)
