I just quit my boring office job in June to travel Europe for two months! I'm hoping to teach English in Asia once my time in Europe is up.

In my spare time, I like to listen to listen to freaky music, watch obscure films, explore new places, and read philosophical stuff. I'm interested in living a healthy, sustainable, open-hearted life.

I'm also a Trotskyist--ask me why!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet wonderful people who can help me experience their wondrous places as authentically as possible!
