I'm a tree-loving, animal-cuddling, analytical person. I love listening to people and getting to know them pretty closely! I like surfing and weightlifting, writing and programming, and mainly hanging out and learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling with my partner/boyfriend - we both have "international" families and now live in the states. His is in Thailand and mine mainly in the UK. We left the states because we didn't feel quite right in our corporate gigs that we'd worked really hard to get into and wanted to see more of the ways people live their lives, especially close to where our families live.

Interests

I'm really interested in people at their cores - I've often found myself close with people because they share their traumas with me. I feel pretty comfortable in that space, but I'd also like to get closer to people near their joys.

Teach, Learn, Share

Between the two of us, we: surf, draw, program, write, play guitar, sing, and like learning from other people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We've been cultivating a very positive energy with each other - we get to meet really lovely people wherever we go, and some of this is because we have something good going that I think people check into - most people seem excited to get involved in a supportive, honest, and constructive energy.
