CURRENT MISSION

Exploring beautiful Scotland

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in God and the good in the world. It's very easy to make me happy. I am happy when I go for a long walk, when the sun shines, when I'm eating, when someone laughs. There is so much to see and to do that one life isn't enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience places from a local's perspective. If I see places as a tourist they're all the same. Houses, shops, masses of people I don't know. But locals know where to look for the places that make one town different from every other town.

Interests

I go for a long walk on most days and do a lot of creative work. I knit and crochet and draw and let myself be inspired by my surroundings.

• dancing
• sports
• basketball
• hitchhiking
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music depending on my mood, so it's a wide range and there's very little I don't listen to.
My one and only TV series I watch is 'Gilmore Girls'.
And books, my oh my, I could write a list. There are all-time classics such as 'Emma', 'Harry Potter', 'The Hobbit', some Oscar Wilde, Nan Shepherd, Roald Dahl or C.S. Lewis and of course, childhood books such as 'The Never-Ending Story' or 'Anne of Green Gables'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every hike I go on. What can be better than being surrounded by nature and animals, listening to the wind and one's own heartbeat?

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe everyone's got something to teach, no matter how small.
I can teach juggling, crocheting and riding a unicycle. And poetry. Every month I learn one poem by heart that I can then recite if I go for a wander in our forests here and feel like I should be able to say something profound about my feelings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A laugh, a story, a meal.
