I have my own literary boyband. I make a podcast. I write poetry, short stories and make internet art. I write anticapitalist rap music. I interview theatre makers. I teach art school and high school. I got a grant to write a novel and now I'm writing a novel about me spending that grant on things I was afraid to spend money on before because I felt poor. I feel poor sometimes. I graduated two years ago but still haven't moved out of my student house. My student house is pretty nice. We have a cleaning lady and sometimes get visited by a hedgehog. I named the hedgehog 'mouse' to scare my housemates.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places, and seeing the side of the city most tourists don't. Also, I like showing off my city to visitors. I am very much in my head sometimes, and spend a lot of time unaware of my surroundings. When showing other people around,

Also, I love stories. I enjoy everything about them - hearing them, telling them; half-forgetting them and thus having to make up new ones when trying to tell them again.
