About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep on learning

ABOUT ME

I'm a wanderer and a wonderer. I've been on the move since I left Univerisity, three years ago, travelling an working abroad.

At the moment I'm living and teaching in Korea. I've been enjoying being stable for a while, and started studying languages and programming. But itchy feet and the want of meeting new people in new places has got the best of me!

I'm ready for our next big adventure to New Zealand. Meet you there :)

PHILOSOPHY

To give things a try!To always give more than taking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in the CSing karma. We heavily relied on CSing to help us travel the world. And then we hosted all the time in Korea, and met some awesome people.

I also loved joining the couch suring meetings around the world!

Interests

I love being creative, just don't have as much time for it any more. I'm really interested in origami, textiles, drawing and photography. I also enjoy yoga, trekking and swimming. I'm also addicted to slacklining - even though I'm not that good ;)A more recent obsession though has been programming. So if you want to learn any thing I'll be happy to share!
