About Me

I really like music and nature, landscapes, the great open sky, the ocean!!!! I don't know, I like many things. I'm pretty relaxed most of the time, and very happy to make new friends!

I like deep conversations and people who just accept other people and their madnesses.

(I am vegetarian - just saying this here first so that if we have a meal together sometime you are forewarned that I don't consume any meat).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience a new place through the eyes of someone who knows and loves it, and I really enjoy meeting people and hearing their craziest stories. I will be so so so happy and grateful to stay with you!

Interests

travelling, listening to music, playing music, dancing to music (i really just love music), conservation, sustainable living, poetry, philosophy, psychology, nature, reading... pretty much anything and everything.

I really love nature and forests and jungles and oceans and deserts and mountains and ahhh wow, just the whole world. So many amazing things.

Music, Movies, and Books

where to start?!
I like acoustic stuff, ethno techno, funk, rock, reggae, jazz, world music, classical music (esp modernism), african blues. and MORE

I'm a sucker for fantasy. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, George R.R Martin..... etc.

ahhh films... Wes Anderson is pretty fantastic. and Studio Ghibli animations. also Tom Moore animations if you know them. But also too many more movies to even speak of

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

swum through stars (phosphorescent plankton in Mozambique and Cambodia), flown in a hot air balloon (Laos), spoken to a dolphin (South Africa), had lucid dreams, found a cave behind a waterfall (in Laos), set off lanterns from a temple ruin with buddhist monks (Thailand), made friends with an elephant (South Africa), ran barefoot through an old gothic quarter (Spain), almost lost my job because of a pig (China)... and there are so many more.
I feel like my whole life is just a series of amazing adventures. Maybe small things, but magical to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling stories.... those are always my favourites... and philosophical discussions.... and some crazy psychedelic experiences maybe (if you're into that)

What I Can Share with Hosts
