About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get happy.

ABOUT ME

"[A]ll good things are wild and free."

Lost boy. Last born. Off the map. Ex-pat. My home is truly scattered in places across the globe. I've been an avid traveller for as long as I can remember, and I think that people can sometimes be the best thing life has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

"It is no way to live, to wait to love."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed a few different times, and I hosted occasionally when I lived in Poland, but since moving to Bordeaux, I've been away from hosting for a while. Couchsurfing has genuinely brought so much joy to my life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I owe so much to this community. If it weren't for CouchSurfing, I wouldn't have met my boyfriend, and I'd never be at the place where I am today. Aside from that, the CouchSurfing community has to be the most amazing, open, kind group of people on the planet. It's a reminder that there's still some hope for humanity.

Interests

People. Art and music. Drinking too much coffee. Knitting. Biking around. Pop psychology. Reading and books. Crafts. Animals of all sorts (especially SHARKS and puppies). Bad jokes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've made music a big part of my life since I was very small. I like all types and genres, and sometimes I even make my own music.
I like films and I'm easy to please. Really, I'll watch anything once for the hell of it.
I'm a huge fan of Dave Eggers. But I like so many other books, too, that to even begin to list them would open up such a huge can of worms that it would be impossible to contain them all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was eighteen I packed up my bags and moved to Poland. Everything from that moment on has been nothing short of amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always pack light. Chances are you won't need it.
